On June 15th we went to the Dachau Concentration Camp. It was incredibly informative, fairly intact, and very depressing. Surprisingly, everything was in English. Even the Survivor’s audio accounts of their experiences. Most museums, memorials, information, etc. is all in German, so this really surprised me. Even the movie about Dachau was shown primarily in English. Not surprisingly, the place was very depressing. There are memorials from many religious organizations, and of course memorials dedicated to the unknown victim. Dachau was not technically an execution camp, but a work camp. Many still died.

On June 23rd we returned to Dachau to see the palace. It was much more uplifting. Most of the palace has not survived, I have no idea if it was bombed during World War II or was just neglected. All that is now left is a banquet hall people can rent out. But the gardens are still intact and are wonderful. Full of beautiful flowers and the views of Munich are great.
