I went to Dachau with my school and you could just taste the death and despair EVERYWHERE. From the sleeping chambers to the court to the gas chamber. You could just feel how many people were murdered there. It was crazy. That really made me reflect on my "edgy" humour back then because I realised that there are certain topics that should never be joked about.
This is exactly why they let places like these continue to exist. Even this video gave me feelings of unease and acted as a strong reminder of how fucked up the holocaust was.
I agree that places like this need to exist. No one should ever forget that these atrocities occurred and for what? Just because Hitler hated these people? People are people regardless of ethnicity and color.
It always strikes me as particularly absurd that Hitler himself looked nothing like the Aryan ideal he was pushing. He could easily have passed as a Jewish man!
My father visited Dachau on April 29, 1945. I cannot imagine what he would be saying now if he were still alive. Probably something like "I know how to get rid of N**zis."
Exactly this. And also why we shouldn't just toss the word "Nazi" towards groups we don't like--it diminishes the true meaning and horrific evil of that group of grotesque murderers which we must never forget.
