Back in 2006, I went to Dachau for a quick visit, with it being the main attraction on my list near Muenchen. From the start you will see the slogan, work sets you free. This is imprinted right into the main gate entrance. But actually the haunting words are also seen at many of the German camps.
Though this camp is impressive, quite a few things were missing. When I first entered it seemed like all the bunkers were already gone. But, there are a few left remaining that show just what the inside was like. You’ll just have to imagine yourself what it looked like, or use pictures on display.
One thing I liked about this museum is that it is so informative. With all of the information in the Museum, you could spend half the day just in there.
Go farther into the camp from the bunkers and indoor museum, you’ll get to see the chilling place where many jews were killed in a gas chamber only then to be later burned in a large oven. There is a memorial close by where all the ashes have been buried of all the poor victims.
I was really moved by this place and it gave me a good insite into the reality of what happened in Germany.
