Dachau

Second day was my day trip to Dachau. The tour guide is from. UK and supports Watford. Been to Malaysia 18yrs ago. Loved the Indian curry rice.

Dachau now is peaceful, quiet, and beautiful. But the history is more than horrible (I guess not as bad as other camp with extermination facilities, but still).

Most of the buildings and facilities have been rebuilt, mainly due to the world War. The whole place is originally an ammunition factory, turned camp as Hitler came to power.

The museum showcase the lives of the people then, how they were living (from the rich, to the religious,)  prior to coming to the camp. There were also many torture methods setup ie controlling temperature of the water at shower or room heater. Interesting was that they have a prison within the camp. One of the cell which is interesting is the standing cell, whereby the cell is so small that you cannot sit down. You ll be placed inside for 3 nights.....

They also have crematorium to burn the bodies of the dead (instead of digging hole and burying them and avoid diseases).

Their fence/wall is Damn keng. They have a 4-5m grass which anyone walked on can be shot, a moat, followed by electric tripwire and electric fence. Lol.

Would like to find out more about the camp through books and movie.

*I do wonder of Germans were taught on nazis and world War 2 in their school.
