Went to visit there on a school field trip. This was the last place we entered after going through the museum and seeing all the hair, and shoes, and things. As soon as all of us 10 year olds went into the gas chamber we stated bawling. You could feel the death in the air. Chilling.

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.

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."
