This summer, my wife was transferred to her company’s Munich branch and I, being the dutiful, occupationally-challenged high school teacher on my first summer vacation, followed her. The German people are amazing, their way of life makes sense, social rules and norms are rational and seem designed to decrease conflicts between its people. The food is phenomenal, the beer is breathtaking, and the city is magical.

I was at Nordhausen back in 1992.
I had lots of fun, met wonderful people and did many things. It was a wonderful vacation. Suddenly it became something totally different. I wound up at Nordhausen.
I walked up the old asphalt road. I peered past the fence to see the gullies where the tunnel doors were and the V2 engines were worked on by slave labor. I saw the markers put up by the former DDR to give insight as to what horrors occurred there. That is what I remember from the perspective of looking outwards from myself to see and learn something.
From the perspective of looking inside myself, seeing horror was nothing compared to what I felt. It was beyond horror, terror, shame, depravity and utter hopelessness. An overwhelming fear made me want to run from that place and never stop. Unlike the fleeing from danger where one can realize safety measured by distance (from a threat), this (and I presume all of Satan’s factories from Hell, such as Nordhausen) horror has never left me. I could feel the evil – true EVIL and despair and suffering.
Birds, other animals, and humans like us are all creations of God. We all can sense and feel. It is that gift of being able to sense and feel that probably keeps birds from singing at these places.
It is also this gift that helps some of us to realize that fancy paranormal research equipment is pointless in finding ghosts there. To find ghosts, at places such as Nordhausen, all you will need is the ability to feel the countless crimes without end and all at once from the victims and the endless evil of those who committed those unspeakable acts of hate.
