The images certainly offend me. Just think, this was the first of many such camps.
If you were on a train and it was diverted to the Dachau Camp this railway switch looks normal (image 2), but the destination was anything but normal. Image 3 shows a track less than 50 meters from the Main Entrance to the camp. Image 4 shows a view of the trail where prisoners were initially forced to walk to the camp from the train station. I saw many of these walls still standing right next to the trail (with a group of students walking the original trail in the background). Behind these walls were the SS barracks and housing where the guards wives and children lived. Nearly across the trail from this image is where the Commandant's house once was which has now been demolished.
The last image tonight is a dark reminder. The weather made it even darker.
