A bundle of flowers lay at the foot of one of four furnaces inside the crematorium at Dachau concentration camp. More than 200 Soldiers and family members from the 1st Infantry Division and U.S. Army Garrison Franconia visited the camp April 20.

HELLO SAND RAT.
Did you know that most of the Christian clergy at Dachau were Eastern Orthodox?
I just read on a web site that the Serbian Orthodox Patriarch and his entire council, plus numerous nuns and monks were interned there.
And over 600 Greek priests, plus many heirarchy of their Church were sent there for helping Jews in Greece... they were killed there.

History trivia - Dachau was the first of the Nazi concentration camps. It was initially used mainly for political prisoners. In the early years, releases were not uncommon. There were even rare cases, I recall, of Jews being released to emigrate (mostly to run the British blockade of immigrant ships to what is now Israel.)

I'd like to visit some of these places if I had the money. I don't particularly believe in ghosts, but I wonder if the people that manage these places or any of the visitors have had any "experiences".
