DACHAU<\/strong><\/h1>\n

CONCENTRATION CAMP Memorial<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”24px” css=”.vc_custom_1517197036380{padding-right: 200px !important;padding-left: 200px !important;}”][vc_column_text]I did not want to leave Rothenburg as there was more to see. Granted I could say that about most of the places we visited on this trip. Stephanie kept reminding us this was a taste of Europe. We left for Dachau to visit the first Nazi concentration camp memorial. Due to time constraints, we had a very short time here. I had a hard time processing all the emotions and things I was learning while walking all over the camp. Our local guide Achim was the spitting image of one of my friends back home. They could have been brothers.<\/p>\n

Holy cow, this place was huge. There were only 2 of the 34 prisoner barracks remaining. Achim said no one ever escaped. We visited the barrack yard, the crematorium area with the gas chambers, and saw the various memorials. We had twenty minutes to explore on our own before, so we looked at the highlights in the museum area.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″]

We hiked up to see the church first and then off the beer hall. Klosterbrauerei Andechs is a monastic brewery well known for its Andechser beers. The brewery is still run by the Benedictine monks. I finally got one of those huge pretzels and a deep-fried roast beef-something was equal parts salty and amazing.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60px” css=”.vc_custom_1517889896191{padding-right: 200px !important;padding-left: 200px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row back_to_top_skin=”default”][vc_column width=”1\/4″]

WIESKIRCHE<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

The \u201cWhite Church\u201d is a Rococo masterpiece. Set in a valley where pilgrims came to see a statue of the Scourged Saviour that wept tears. My sister, who had been here before, said this was her favorite church. It was lovely.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t
