A Sad Commemoration

Our trip through Germany would not be complete without taking a few moments to commemorate the millions who died in the concentration camps. There are actually thousands of concentration and extermination camps throughout Europe--Germany, France, Austria, Poland, and even Belgium. We visited Sachsenhausen in Northern Germany.

This is where many of the people were brought to be killed. One of the rooms was a gas chamber. It was mostly destroyed during World War II.



This is the road that all the captives had to walk down to enter the camp. It is long and sad.
This is the entrance into the camp.
