On our way home from Austria, we drove through Germany. When we got off of the highway
to look for a place to eat, we saw a sign for Dachau. Larry's grandfather came to Dachau with the U.S. Army in WWII and liberated the prisoners 
of the concentration camp.
to look for a place to eat, we saw a sign for Dachau. Larry's grandfather came to Dachau with the U.S. Army in WWII and liberated the prisoners 
of the concentration camp.We were only 10 miles from Dachau, so of course we had to see what was there! The entire concentration camp is still standing and is now a memorial site. It was pretty amazing to read about what happened and also pretty amazing to think that Papa rolled through that very country side in his tank.
More than anything, we enjoyed calling Papa to tell him where we had been and hearing his amazing stories about that historical event.
What an exciting History lesson!
