The expectations have completely changed from what I originally thought this trip was going to be about. I thought it was interesting how Germany desperately wants to forgone what happened during WWII because that is one of the main things they are known for. So they turned one of the pinnacle places where hitler and his allies conjured up plans into a music college also that one of the most known places in Munich, the Haughbrahaus was one of the major meeting places where nazis met to discuss. Going to dachau was also very moving. The stories told by the liberators as well as just the history of the events that took place was horrifying. I didn't expect it to be in the middle of the city along with just how big it actually was with all of the sleeping quarters that were demolished as well as the square in which the victims did their forced labor. Seeing the crematorium and the gas chambers also put into perspective just how massive this movement was in history. - Kirby Bednarik
