GERMANY: VISIT TO THE DACHAU CONCENTRATION CAMP MEMORIAL

  


There are some places that instill a sense of instant and absolute happiness when you visit them.

There are some that bring about that nostalgic, deja vu feeling.

But then there are some that haunt you, long after you have visited them.


This travelogue belongs to the third category.


However, calling it a travelogue is actually not the right way to define it.

In fact, as I start writing this thread, I have not been able to think of a respectable alternative.

Hopefully, as I pen down my experiences in this thread, something proper will pop up in my mind.


So, recently, I was in Munich for a short business trip. Had some time off over a weekend and like any other car aficionado worth his/her salt, I straightaway went to the BMW Welt.

But, as you might have guessed from the subject line, this thread is not about cars.


This is about my visit to the town of Dachau, located about 10 miles away from Munich. Precisely speaking, this is about my visit to the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial site, home to one of the world's most terrible tragedies in this generation, and possibly from the previous ones as well.


As I stepped off the Dachau station, there were boards everywhere with a greeting sign (if you can call it that) to direct towards the memorial site:


A bus ride took me through the sleepy town of Dachau towards the memorial site, a couple of videos depicting the sheer normalcy of this town:


For a town with a population of about 45,000 and with a heritage going back to the 9th century, not many tourists know about the historical significance of the town, including the Dachau Palace and Garden.


The tourist attraction, which gets talked about the most when visiting this section of Bavaria, is the Concentration Camp Memorial Site.


In hindsight, now when I reminisce about what I had witnessed in the camp as a tourist/passer-by, all the sights make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.


There are many ways to describe or write about the Dachau memorial site, so I chose to keep things simple in terms of articulation and yet, have attempted to bring together the historical events leading to the formation of the camp, overview of the camp administration in general and life at the camp, among other things.

THE SHAMELESS MOMENT BOTH COUPLES WHERE FOUND DOING THE WORST IN THE

The moment a bold pair was c#ught on camera hav!ng s£x in broad daylight in a Wigan back alley against a wheelie bin has been captured on camera. The wom@n leans over and hides her head behind the large industrial-sized trash can, while the amorous couple can be seen with their p@ñts pulled down to their knees. The disturbing footage was taken at around 8 p.m. in the town center, next to a pub and behind the Spice Lounge Indian restaurant, where the words "no parking" are spray-painted on the wall. The Sun UK reports that this is where the footage was taken. The unidentified couple doesn't seem to care that people are observing and recording their wild actions. The man, dressed in a white shirt and white pants, glances up at the camera toward the end of the video, and it seems like the person filming him is giving him the thumbs up. The video was filmed in July of last year, according to a source, who also added that they had "probably been out all day drinking or so...
