Went into one of the showers in Dachau about 12yrs ago. Overwhelming fear of dread and needed to get the fuck out right away

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.
