Schloss Neusweinstein and Dachau Memorial Concentration Camp

With the International Club we also visited the Schloss Neuswanstein.  This castle belonged to Ludwig II of Bavaria. This is the castle that the Walt Disney Cinderella Castle was modeled after. It was beautiful scenery because the castle is next to a waterfall and the Alps.  It was cloudy the day we went, but we still really enjoyed sights.














Me and Cayle also visited the memorial concentration camp, Dachau.  Dachau was the first concentration camp.  Dachau was the model for all the other concentration camps during the second World War. Dachau was not intended for Jewish people initially, it was intended for German people that went against the Nazis rule.  It was really eye opening to visit a real concentration camp and it really humbled me. 


These are pictures from the concentration camp:


This means "Work sets your free" in German












This is the Catholic Memorial in Dachau Memorial Concentration Camp




This is the gas chamber.  It was recorded that this gas chamber was never used, but no one can be completely sure that this was true.




This is the crematory
