that was a great report Chris thank you for shearing that with us.

my grandfather toured Dachau just as it became liberated during the war,he wrote many times to my grandmother as and loving husband would while fighting a war.He was with the 48th when he got there and we found the one and only letter he wrote from there describing the bodies all over the place,he saw the rail cars with bodies stacked on top of each other even mentioned something about finding dead SS troops beaten to death by the prisoner’s.It changed him for ever,the letter was the only time he had mentioned it to anyone,but he lived the rest of his life till 73 when he died.He was real quit from it from what my mother told me.I do have the letter dated to when he was there would love to share with you one day if you have time.God bless you for your hard journey and what you want through.

I visited Dachau before. At Dachau, they would hang their prisoners up by their arms, but by puling the arms back as depicted in the first picture.
When I ventured into the room where that happened, my shoulder blades began to ache. It was a terrible pain and made me feel faint. I had no idea why I felt that way. I decided to go outside to get some fresh air and after a few minutes of sitting on the steps the pain just vanished. Maybe, I think, I felt the prisoners pain? Though it wasn’t as intense. Either that or it’s a strange coincidence.

This subject is so interesting. Ive been interested in the Holocaust since I was a young child even though I’m not jewish or anything. I’ve always felt drawn to it and have felt the need for some sort of internal resolution as to how/why this could happen. I visited Berlin last year and was going to visit the Sachsenhausen concentration camps but decided not to as I was strangely overcome by a feeling that spirits there would follow me after I left. I’ve always been “psychic” but have never seen dead people or anything (thank god). But I have a DEEP knowing that there are definitely spirits in these camps (for obvious reasons) and ,as a very empathic and generaly sensitive/psychic person , I feel that if I went to one of these camps some of these spirits would cling to me. Anyway, I couldn’t shake this feeling so decided to look up the subject and thats how I found this site. I will definitely visits the camps the next time I’m in Europe as I plan to live in Berlin for a while. Thanks for sharing this.

Beautifully written. What an experience it must have been. I would be very interested in visiting as well. Like you, I’ve always read on WWII and been intrigued to know and understand more on it.

I wasn’t going to say anything but then I got to the footnote, which says you teach literature. You are a terrible writer. Never mind your flawed premise that paranormal investigation is a disrespectful act- you simply let the words get away from you, letting clauses pile up into maudlin piles of fragmented cliches (“long but not forgotten?”) You will notice that many responders who praise this piece can neither spell nor construct a cohesive sentence. One says she wants to visit a death camp because she is a bibliophile.
Perhaps you will dismiss me as a pedantic journalism major with nothing better to do than criticize the writing of a stranger. So be it. I just have the crazy notion that in order to teach a literature class, one must know how to write.

i”m an ardent reader on wwii history,its atrocities inflicted on common innocent citizens of all participating countries in the war and on top of it, the horrific, inhumane acts of Nazis over their conquered nations especially on the Jews suffered in the concentration camps all over Europe. You said nothing could stop tears flowing on your cheeks while you were physically on the spot of holocaust, but i shed tears uncontrolably even reading your experiences in Auschwitz. Its highly unlikely for me to pay a visit and submit my respects to all of those great souls whose lives were snatched away by rude nazis for reason of paucity of funds.

This story was personally, very moving! I have always been curious to know about the WW2 time period(especially the camps) and the stories from the many survivers of that time. I hope to someday visit Auschwitz one day. I also am interested in anything paranormal and thought it most respectful of you to approach your visit in such a way. Thanks for a wonderful account and hope to read more in the future! Please feel free to contact me anytime! Warmest Regards, ~Tracey
