Dachau

Entrance was free and the
audio-guide was 2.50. The
Spring green of the trees is
in sharp contrast to the small
white pebbles that keep slipping
into my shoes. The arch is
austere and unimpressive, a simple
iron door at the center. Well ordered
courtyard stands at the other side.
The audio-guide tells us that
Dachau is responsible for over
65,000 deaths. Following the tree
lined road through the barracks, we
listened to Eric Vin's memories of
work, death, and cruelty. The doctor
gave them water as he pointed at
the sky saying, "He says the need it."
Everything is done for God
and Germany:
Murder, experiments, and torture.
