Introduction: How do you prepare to see that?

The beginning of the end

Life and death in Berga

Incomprehensible

Springtime for Hitler

Little boys became men

Mere death was not bad enough for the Nazis

Ike knew this would be denied

Buchenwald : this ain't no place I wanna be

Gardelegen : even the good Germans had blood on their hands

Bergen-Belsen

I start crying and I can't talk any more

Landsberg : the Kaufering camps

Dachau : shock beyond belief

They're killing Jews : who cares?

Mauthausen : death on the not-so-beautiful brown Danube

You are still individually and collectively responsible
