The Last Stop...

Dachau

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Socialist.
. : .
.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
. : .
.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Jew.
. : .
.
Then they came for me -- and there was no one left to speak for me.
~ Martin Niemoller

Superbly presented, very well done. V

It is sobering looking at your image. I can't imagine how overwhelming it would've been to be there in person. We should never forget.

I just sat and looked at this image very well shot image

Speaks for itself! Sobering. Linda S

Excellent, mark. The horror of it all should stay with all, to prevent such a thing from happening again. Fortunately, there WERE some who did speak out, though they suffered for it in the same camps.

The inhumanity humans can do to one another. A fitting quotation to accompany the photo.
Guest 23-Sep-2011 15:11
scary site, and a perfect quote.

Very chilling. I got the goosebumps and of course reading the words along with it but I really like the treatment you did with this photo. The cold blue chilling light really conveys the feeling one should feel when they see this! Well done.

A painful sight.

Thanks for sharing. Excellent photo and a great documentary. Much of WWII is being forgotten with the passing of the vets.
Guest 23-Sep-2011 13:38
very impressive Mark.
Jack Hoying23-Sep-2011 13:09
There aren't many reminders of the Nazi, or WWII in general in modern Germany, but with scenes as powerful as this, not many are needed!
Steve Thuman23-Sep-2011 12:05
Oh yuck. But nicely photographed.
Paul Milholland23-Sep-2011 05:37
"Chilling" doesn't begin to describe this scene. :-(
John Vass23-Sep-2011 05:21
We can not forget! Sobering what can happen when man turns on man!
Zane Paxton23-Sep-2011 01:02
A sobering view...
Guest 22-Sep-2011 23:47
An important documentary image. BV.
