I have often wanted to know more about the suffering of the Jews & atrocities committed against them during the Nazi regime. It was therefore only natural to want to see a real concentration camp if that were ever possible.
During my visit to Germany this became a reality & I was able to visit an old concentration camp which is now a well preserved musuem. It stands as a cold reminder of one of man’s worst crimes against humanity.
Located outside Berlin is the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp in Oranienburg. A former Nazi camp, it serves as a grim reminder of the extent of man’s depravities…& the suffering endured by millions of Jews as a result.
For those interested in reading more on this topic, I would recommend the following books – The Diary of Anne Frank, Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl & The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom.
Thank God for freedom!
A very sad time in history. Even worse is the fact that genocide continues in this so called modern world.
The world still watches and does nothing to stop it..
Maggie, thanks for popping by. It is a nasty scar in world history for sure. Trying times persist in various parts still..may peace prevail!
I will have to read a few of these books. You should read The True Story of Hansel and Gretel, it’s horrifying but beautifully written.
Thanks Cassie, will try & get a hold of the book.
