The protestant memorial at Dachau. The architect purposely avoided right angels because he said the prisoners constantly had to live in that rigid 'right angle' atmosphere. A re-creation of the 'security measures' at the camp. If any person stepped on the grass they were immediately shot from the guard tower- many stepped onto the grass as an act of suicide. The mechanics behind the gas chamber. Some claim the gas chamber was never used at Dachau, however others believe this is unlikely. The gas chamber at Dachau- I literally thought I was going to be physically sick upon entering this room. By far the saddest, hardest part of the tour. Brausebad... Gas Chamber. The 'new' crematorium that was built after there were too many bodies for the original crematorium. Liberated April 29, 1945; Memorial dedicated May 3, 1992. Bless those who liberated this camp and those who we were not able to save. What happened to my beer?! I just got it ten minutes ago! Amy and Me at the Hofbräuhaus in Munich!
