My grandfather was in the Holocaust

1. Wow, was he

in a concentration camp?

If so which one?

I visited Dachau, it wasn't used for the gas chambers but they housed prisoners there and I am pretty sure they did medical experiments there. At any rate I could feel the evil that had been there. It was very emotional

I am awed at those who survived the holocaust. And totally blown away that anyone could ever deny that it happened :wtf:, and :grr:

I wonder what he would say about our country today? Would it remind him of pre holocaust Nazi Germany?

2. Auschwitz

He was liberated in 1945. My dad was born 2 years later in a Displaced Camp near Hamburg, Germany

And yes, he made a Shoah tape, I'm still bugging my parents to get it captioned so I can see it.

3. Geez,

that is just so inconceivable that people can be so horrid, yet, I fear it is still happening in this world today.

4. My mother had many first cousins of in the Army during WWII who spoke German and Czech.

I remember my Grandmother talking about two of them being sent to the camps to translate.

She remembers seeing photos that one them had taken.
