As we entered, my anxiety had manifested itself physically, ad the lump in my throat almost kept me from explaining the sign, "Arbeit Macht Frei" - work will set you free.
I became incredibly emotional when we first saw the execution wall, and I could hardly move, though I completely broke down when passing through the gas chamber/crematorium.
I'm glad I witnessed this, even though my emotions got the best of me.

Hi Joe,
ReplyDeleteThank you for a most insightful post son. It is soul-shattering to know what some people have had to endure at the hands of others. As difficult a read as Night was, I'm glad I read it.
Is Dachau where the Elie Wiesel was?
Love and miss you,
