The front gate

"The Bunker" (the worst of the worst went on here)

Kate being studious at the museum

This little creek runs under a bridge right before you go into the gate.  It was so tranquil and beautiful

Our Last Hope, Hitler

Center Row with the rows of housing that used to be on each side.  There were 32 structures- all that remain now is the concrete foundation

Perimeter fence with a watch tower; the grass before you got to the ditch was the kill zone.  Kate and I read where some intentionally charged the fence to get shot and end their suffering

Building on the site

Looking through a prison cell.  The windows were covered with a white paste from outside and the bars on the door that allow for this picture were not added until the Americans took over and held the Nazi criminals.

That's gotta be overwhelming. I agree that without God, we're not too far away from falling to the same depths.
On a lighter note, Kate told me about the dog....how funny! Through emmersion into the language - Kate now knows how to say, "Sit" in German!!!!
