My visit to Dachau was the most moving (not in a good way) moment in my life. I could never look at an elderly German the same way again. I always wondered, "What did you know? How did you help in this abomination?"

My son served four years in the military stationed in Germany.

We sent our college freshman daughter to visit during the summer break.

She said she had a hard time looking into the faces of the older men, wondering what they had done during the war.

I was also shaken to the core by Dachau. However, I looked not at Germans but at people all over the world and wondered how can I love you knowing that you are capable of such as this. I looked into my own soul, and there was the answer.

I have a neighbor who was a survivor of Dachau. She volunteered as a tour guide for the Holocaust Museum and spoke about her experiences at high schools and colleges in Maryland and Pennsylvania.
I once asked her if the Nazis who ran the camps, who are now old men and women and will die soon and stand before God, are repentant.

No, she told me, most are just grateful to God they were never caught and punished.
