A raw and bleak day that echoes this raw and bleak site

The tour of Dachau, run by Radius Tours cost me 20,00 Euros, with a 2,00 discount included as I'm traveling with a popular guidebook. Worth it. Trip leader Maxine did a great job thoroughly explaining what happened here and why during the terrible years of the Third Reich. One man on the trip had a veryvspecial connection to this dreadful place. His father, recently deceased, had been one of the Rainbow Brigade that liberated this camp on April 20, 1945. Extraordinary.
It's a very somber and emotionally draining place.
Today's wild and wet day matches the location. It's hard to imagine the sun can ever shine here.
