Dachau, a trip through misery

While we were staying in Munich, one of our side trips was a day trip to the site of the former concentration camp, Dachau. It really is a day trip, and worth taking your time to explore and listen. It's not as brutal as some articles have suggested Auschwitz is, but still sobering. It's about the only day we've not had a camera with us, and I strongly recommend this. Concentration camps don't seem like the sort of place to take a camera. Especially not to take happy snaps of the gas chamber, like one idiot with a big grin was doing.
