Southern Germany

Today was a travel day we went from our home away from home to Munich which is a four hour drive. On the way to Munich we decided to stop at Dachau to visit the first concentration camp that Hitler created. It was very moving for everyone in the family. It was incredible to see how people could treat other humans!
The museum went through the history of the nazi party and how they eliminated all of their opponents including those in parliament. After that the museum describes why and what happened to the people once they arrived in Dachau. There was even a movie about it, however their was too much reading and I am sorry that I didn’t get us a guide to take us through, it would have saved us a lot of reading and not truly understanding what we were looking at. In two of the remaining barracks that we saw men were crowded in like cattle in a cattle truck.
We must not forget how we got there and we must remember to maintain our rights as humans and citizens in our county. Don’t let other people take your rights away.

Once we left Dachau we took off too Munich and found a good place to hang our coats even though we still needed them on. We found the toy museum however it was closed, we try to go there tomorrow, after we visit Neuschwannstein Castle.
