RE: Germany - Dachau Concentration Camp
Thanks for sharing this jennifer. Its so important to stay in touch with history, both good and bad to ensure that things such as these dont get repeated. Although one can argue if such atrocities are still happening, though in different ways. Would love to go and see the place myself and use your post as a guide. Thanks again.
Actually being in a place like that is so much more powerful than any amount of reading about it. I was not quite prepared. I remember reading in advance that children under 12 should probably not visit. I thought at first that was a little extreme, but after visiting I understand why. The emotional intensity of the place lingers, even in the surrounding areas. Adults tend to be a little less sensitive to those types of energies than children. I imagine it could be quite difficult for a child to process, particularly if the adult with the child isn't sensitive to the energies.
And yes, atrocities are still being committed around the world on a daily basis. Often, ignorance of the issue is what perpetuates it. In this information age, you'd think we'd know about our world and be able to stop all the evil things, but it simply isn't so. It is overwhelming, and we can only choose to act on those things that we are aware of.
Very well articulated. I guess, seeing the actual sites can invoke emotions much stronger than reading about it. May be the mind builds a better picture of what may have transpired.
