I just ordered it. When I was stationed in Germany in the late 70s/early 80s, I went to two camps - Dachau and Natzweiler. I still cannot believe how humans could do this to others. The Nazis didn't corner the market on this kind of cruelty, but these events are recent. Talking with survivors of these and a couple of other camps was heart wrenching.


I went to Dachau as a side-trip to an Oktoberfest trip when I was stationed at Harvey Barracks at Kitzingen in 1978. Definitely an eye opening experience, even though Dachau was just the Beta test site for future/bigger concentration camps.


A good friend of mine was sentenced to 20 years there as a 'Judenfreund', - "Friend of the Jews".
He did have amazing stories to tell about that experience and his experiences which caused him to be sentenced.
