Dachau, Germany

This morning we went bright and early (9:30am) to the Lowenbrau tent for “Contikifest”. Then Jen and I went out to Dachau Concentration Camp. It was a very calm place, you can feel that everyone visiting is wanting to be respectful. It was not as horrifying as some people said it would be, but I was aware of what happened at Auschwitz, so I was actually surprised that there was less killing at this Camp. I think that it is amazing how some people survived the entire war, from 1938-1944 in the camp. There were also a lot of human experiments that were done, and I wonder if the doctors ever felt remorseful for what they put people through (low-pressure experiments, TB experiments) or if they felt that they were just contributing to science. So many psych questions that can never be answered.
