This was a sobering stop outside of Linz. Mauthausen was a concentration camp during WWII and was known for the Stairway to Death where prisoners were forced to carry heavy stone blocks up 186 stairs from the quarry.

Dachau
April 1999
Dachau concentration camp was the first of the Nazi concentration camps opened in 1933, intended to hold political prisoners. It is not far from Munich, Bavaria, southern Germany.
I didn’t take many pictures, it was more about the experience and the feeling you get while there. You definitely feel the heaviness of the suffering and death. You come away different, it’s not a site you enjoy but one you must visit.
