Every time I’ve been to the Dachau Concentration Camp, I’m amazed at the chilling power it has over the soul. Little remains of the camp except some old foundations, the headquarters that now houses the museum, and the barbed-wire fence that surrounds the property. Perhaps I sense the ghosts who haunt the grounds. However since they provide no visual image to capture, this quiet shot best represents how the place makes me feel. Dachau remains a sobering testimony to one of the saddest chapters in Europe's history. Created in 1923, it was Hitler's "model camp," interning more than a quarter million people. Before being shutdown in 1945, tens of thousands were killed, more were tortured or experimented on by the SS, and all were humiliated and terrorized.
