THE DACHAU EXPERIENCE
|
While most of our time on the trip was spent in lighthearted adventures, both Jason and I were interested in visiting the Dachau Concentration Camp. After discussion with our fellow travelers, escort Dave made arrangements for eight of us to see Dachau with Radius Tours.
There are few tour companies that are allowed to enter the grounds of the concentration camp and guides must go through rigorous training to be deemed acceptable to give a tour. The grounds today are an international memorial site, using many of the surviving buildings as a modern exhibition centre. Our guide objectively portrayed the events at Dachau. My experience there was a challenging, upsetting, and moving insight into the human condition. You will see below only a few exterior photos of our time spent there; putting the camera down allowed me to more authentically participate in the tour. |
