One of the day-trips from Munich which gives a perspective and sets a serious outlook for the next few days is Dachau.

We might have read a few of books or watched a few movies on the Holocaust, but it is never equal to witnessing the place in person. It kind of scares you how much a person is capable of hurting another.

One of the messages displayed there says “never again”. It means, never again will we repeat such acts, never again shall we let this happen to any other living being, let alone a person.

It is really impressive how well this place is maintained so that the next generation gets to know what happened there and can draw lessons from it.

It left me thinking that maybe all nations should embrace their mistakes along with their achievements. After all, what are we, if we don’t learn from the past and make the future even better?!
