Dinkelsbuuuhhh / Dachau (Germany) / Westendorf (or Westendork, depending on who you ask) (Austria)
Emily and Jordan on the bus.
The main gate of Dauchau. The gate reads, "Work means Freedom."
Aerial view of the camp.
The bunks at Dauchau. 8 people were crammed onto on bed. Not one entire three tire bunk, but one level of one bunk.
The museum, which was built for a different purpose during WWII by the people in the camp.
An airial photo of the bunk houses, with the foundations behind it.
Looking over one row of bunk house foundations. The poplar trees on the right were planted by the camp members.
A catholic convent in the camp.
A sign marking the entrance to the creamatorium grounds.
The creamatorium ovens.
Tribute to the camp victims.
Memorial wall, saying:
May the example of those who were exterminated here betweeen 1933 - 1945 becuase they resisted Nazism help to unite the living for the difference of peace and freedom and in respect fot their fellow men.
Another memorial to the dead. On closer inspection you can pick out people twisted in barbed wire.
"Never Again"
"Tomb" holding the ashes of the unknown dead.
Guard tower and fences.
First view of the Alps out the bus window.
Nothing can prepare for what they look like.
And words cannot describe their majesty.
They're are breathtaking.
A rainbow in Westendorf.
Tyrolean dancers, the second one in looked like William H. Macy. (Melissa's future husband.)
Two singers... they were yoodeling.
Here they go again.
Crystal dancing... right before sweeping...
The victory shot!
