      Prior to my first visit to Munich, I had no idea either of the
immensity of the concentration camps.  Not far from from Munich is
Dachau.   Modern day Germany should be commended for keeping Dachau
reasonably intact as a museum which depicts man's awful inhumanity to man.
Lest none of us forget the atrocities, Dachau as well as the remains
of many other concentration camps exist today.  No cover up is apparent
as I think that the Germany of today does not want anyone to forget this
tragedy.  (Yes, I am sure that there still exists some radicals who feel
otherwise, but what can one say about them.)  If you ever travel to Munich,
be sure to take time to visit Dachau.  It is far from a tourist attraction,
but an experience that I believe you will never ever forget.

as ever,
