Munich/Dachau


Dachau Concentration Camp


Munich, Germany Marien Plaza




On Tuesday after Cory and everyone got here and rested for a day we headed out on our journey towards Venice. We stopped in Munich and went to the concentration camp there called Dachau. This is one of the first concentration camps. It was started in 1932 for people they had political differences towards Hitler and then moved on to Jehova Witnesses, Jews, homosexuals, and so on. It was a "model" for what the rest of the concentration camps were to become like. They also tested alot of medical ideas here. The prisoners here were actually allowed more freedom than in other camps. Although it was interesting to see it was also as you can imagine very sad.
We went that night to Munich and I ordered the Wiener Schnitzel and well lets say I only got a few bites. Addie took it and ate it all from me. We all know how Addie eats and some how she either loves German and Italian food or she finally got her appetite! She ate the whole thing! So, now I may have to have Grandma Dee send some wiener schnitzel home every so often.
