Cold darkness and despair

Cold darkness and despair

In 2006 I made a sombre visit to the former concentration camp at Dachau (near Munich in Southern Germany). At least 25,000 people (many of them political prisoners) lost their lives in this camp during World War II.

I cannot even begin to adequately describe the sadness that still exists in this place. The image of this cold, dark corridor represents the sadness and despair that still so painfully hangs in the air of what remains at Dachau today.

    The feeling that emanates from this photograph is so powerful and overwhelming, you have caught the essence here, of a dreadful place. Very sad.

    Wow, the image really touches me and reminds of my visit to Buchenwald last year… It has the same feel to it… I think it’s good to visit these places… And always remember.
    Makes you speechless.

    Seeing this and knowing the story behind it gives me goosebumps. This is a stark reminder of what went wrong…and what should never have happened in the first place.

    Wow….wow wow. I’ve spent the better part of 20 years reasearching Warsaw, Auschwitz, Treblinka, etc. This rips through me. I’m hoping to get over there someday after I make it to Ayer’s Rock. :-/
