The Cade Chronicles: Dachau Concentration Camp

The last day we were in Munchen we went to the Dachau Concentration Camp. The tour was provided by Rad City Bike Tours, but luckily it wasn't a bike tour. Dachau was the first concentration camp in Germany. The day we went was a perfect day for touring a place where hundreds of thousands of people died. It was cold, overcast, drizzly, and gloomy. I wish I could say it was "cool" to see, but that would be a grave misstatement. It was definitely an eye opening experience into what it was like back then. Our tour guide was a lady named Gretel and she was pretty knowledgeable about the subject and told us a lot of stuff we didn't know about WWII.

Totally forgot why I took this picture. Surprise surprise.

This is a sculpture made in the late 60's dedicated to all the people who died at Dachau. It was donated by Dachau survivors.

The extended fingers symbolizes the electricity going through someone if they touched one of the electric fences in Dachau.
