Adventure #7: [Buchenwald]

"Jedem das seine" means in English, "To each his own." This is the phrase that is on the entrance of the gate to the former concentration camp Buchenwald. Buchenwald was built by the prisoners in the summer of 1937. This camp is one that many people have heard of around the world. The camp was equipped with a crematorium, barracks, and a zoo. During the time Buchenwald was running many of the prisoners were killed and burned in the crematorium. I did not like taking pictures here because it made me uncomfortable. I felt taking pictures would be a little disrespectful for all those who had died there.
