Re: Our Gloomy Visit to Dachau Concentration Camp
With so much disinformation and plain ignorance about our recent history, it can sometimes takes a harrowing experience to bring home the scale of man's inhumanity to man.

Re: Our Gloomy Visit to Dachau Concentration Camp
Rereading your essay after several years reminded me how important it is that we not let the 'big issues' of our times and of our past become just words and stories in a museum. It is so important to be in and feel actual places, and to remember that these events happened not to countries or movements or the like, but to ordinary people who were like ourselves. Thank you.
