Summary

Description

I was inicially very undecided about posting these 4 photos about Dachau Concentration Camp. I didn't want them to be just "another" set of photos in a stream that I consider to be my travel memories, as if they were nothing more than a "I was here" statement. In the end I decided to post them, as I feel that too much exposure is never too much if there are still, out there, plenty of people not asking themselves "how could this happened?". I have friends who complaint about the overexposure and overuse of the Holocaust by Jewish people, saying that everyone already knows what happened. One look at the exhibition in Dachau Concentration Camp makes me realize that the majority of the population still needs to feel that punch in the stomach that we get when passing our eyes through the horror of the stories told there, stories that really happened to human beings that were no different from the humam beings who perpetrated those horrors.

Thus, this is my simple homage to those who fell and suffered, hoping that such thing will never stain world history again.
