We headed to Duchau Concentration Camp today. Although not the largest camp, it was the first, the model for all the others, and the only one to run the entire 12 years of Hitlers reign. At the beginning of the Concentration Camp the prisoners were all political prisoners, and after they had been 'reformed' they could actually be released. That only lasted about a year though before more and more people came, and the prisoners were there because they were Jewish, Political Opponents, Homosexual, Jehovah's Witness, etc. Dachau was interesting because all the Catholic Priest that opposed Hitler were went there as political prisoners, the only camp to hold priest.
Seeing the concentration camp in person was nauseating, educational, eye opening.
We had dinner Weies Brauhaus for dinner tonight. It's a lovely beer hall with none of the gimic of Hofbrau House, and double the authenticity. Our waitress was a burly frau, she was incredible...we would have called her the beer nazi had it been more politically correct.
