Nothing says F-d up, like DACHAU!

This goes back two weeks ago, to July 17th, two days before my 32nd birthday! After Nuremburg, I took a train down to Munich, where I ultimately connected and went to Dachau, site of the first Nazi concentration camp! First off, words never describe what I felt or saw when I went; I think it's something everyone just needs to see to understand! For the first time in my trip, I actually became ANGRY at all of Germany! That was not my intent; it just happened!

Dachau itself is a beautiful suburb of Munich, or as the Germans call Munchen! This describes so much it Germany though! As I have said, the country is a paradox.

When I was there, I almost got sick! To actually see a Brausebad (gas chamber) and crematorium and realize what took place here, well, you just have to see it. There were many things that bothered me when I was there, one of which was seeing people actually playing and joking near the "Arbet Macht Frei" sign! They wanted their picture taken there and acted like they were behind bars... Umm, it is clear they haven't a clue what barbarism actually took place here! It is just a very eerie site!

On the grounds, there are memorials to the thousands that were mercilessly killed there, and honestly, that is one thing the Germans do well, they go out of their way to acknowledge and memorialize their messed up past, unlike the Japanese, Turks, or, dare I say, even, Americans!? Still... After learning about and studying the Holocaust, for the first time in my life, the history actually came alive! I mean, this shit actually happened, within the past 70-75 years, by, on all accounts, was one of the most civilized nations in the modern world!
