13. DACHAU - EUROPE TRIP APRIL 2015

SUNDAY, APRIL 19th

John and I stayed in Garnish for two nights.  We took a train and bus to 
DACHAU

THIS WILL BE A DAY THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET.  I HAVE HEARD
STORIES OF THE HOLOCAUST, BUT TO SEE WHERE SOME OF
THE INHUMANE TREATMENTS, SUFFERINGS AND INJUSTICE TOOK PLACE 
WILL FOREVER BE EMBEDDED IN MY BRAIN AND MY HEART
I WILL NEVER FORGET!


THE FRONT GATE TO DACHAU
The words on the gate said "Work Will Make You Free"
Check out the gate below, it is not the same gate.  Only three months earlier 
the original gate was stolen.  So sad to think someone or
some group could do such a thing
Rail Tracks still remain
