When I went to Sachsenhausen, maybe 5 or 6 years ago, I was ready to buy souvenirs, thinking it would have semblance of a museum. I immediately felt its' starkness. Emotions went from anticipation to antipathy, a kind of animus I never before felt came over me. The quarters/barracks, the guides explanations, the visuals, and mostly the killing pits and ovens made me a changed man, a changed forever person. Now, in 2015, as an American, the relationship I see between Barak Obama, Jimmy Carter, John Kerry et. al. and Bibi Netanyahu and Israel is more than troubling..... it brings back that animus I felt while walking the tour of Sachsenhausen. If in Berlin do not miss this opportunity to see ugly, because you will appreciate the beauty when it too shows, and you will join me in saying, 'NEVER AGAIN' Two other things I would mention. This had more of an impact on me than even the Holocaust Museums in Washington, D.C., and Israel. Also, I would like to pay tribute to the German Chancellor in 2015, Angela Merkel, for her leadership that is so understanding of the past evil, and her efforts to repair the wrong.
