We felt compelled to visit Dachau, as it's only a short train ride outside of Munich. This isn't what you think of in relation to a "fun family vacation," but as Americans and human beings and parents (two of whom were alive during WWII), we felt almost morally obligated to go learn more. It was a valuable educational experience, disturbing and humbling, as you might imagine. Below are a few photos--taking pictures here felt odd to me, like it was not always the "right" thing to do. I didn't photograph the most gruesome areas.
Russian orthodox chapel. One of several small religious houses on the grounds.
Foundations for the prisoner housing.
Sculpture inside another chapel.
One tired girl.
