After we left Rothenburg, we made our way, on our super awesome bus, to the next destination. We were off to Munich. Since we hadn't had much sleep, the bus became our favorite place to catch a few Zzz. On our way to Munich, we had one very important stop to make. We took a trip to Dachau Concentration Camp. This was one of the most humbling experiences I have ever witnessed. The evil and wrong doing that went on in this place were bone chilling. I have never felt to helpless and angry at the same time. The torture experienced by hundreds of innocent people made my blood boil with anger. The things I saw in the barracks and the crematorium, have been etched into my mind, and will remain there for an eternity. The above picture is one of the gate that guards the entrance to Dachau. The literal translation from German to English is "Work makes free" which in reality was nothing but a lie. Those people who worked harder just worked themselves to death quicker. Most of the people who entered Dachau didn't end up leaving alive unless it was through the American liberation of the camp at the wars end.
