But that would haunt someone to their grave.

I visited Dachau IN THE EIGHTIES--forty years after liberation.

That visit still haunts me. I had an opportunity to go back later and I refused.

I visited Dachau in late Summer 1979.

About 3 years ago I was invited to travel back to Europe. We would be within easy driving distance of Auschwitz. I was encouraged to go. I was like ‘Why the F would I ever want to go there?’

Nein Danke, let them have their ‘memorials’ for themselves. My ancestors fled Europe well over a century ago, some closer to 2 centuries. I ain't never going back to that dump no matter how chic people seem to think that it is.
