Visiting the Dachau Concentration Camp in Germany might not be something most people choose to do while on vacation. For some, the mere thought is too much. We attended Oktoberfest in Munich and made a conscious decision to visit.
First, I am a firm believer that to understand the world, you must understand its history. Sometimes, this requires seeing it with your own eyes. I wanted to see firsthand what the concentration camp looks like today.
Secondly, I wanted to see how these death camps are positioned. For example, are they marketed as history? Do they portray an accurate representation of what happened? Do they honor the lives lost? Or is there an inch of pride lurking in the shadows like American Plantations?
Lastly, I wanted to see the location, the surrounding area, and experience the grounds.
