Sachsenhausen

We set foot on the grounds where thousands of people were starved, tortured and killed for nine years. We stayed for over 5 hours reading, thinking and feeling the place; dead silent yet so crowded with thoughts and emotions. Ironically, the sun beat down on us and the birds chirped enthusiastically as we walked over the same stones victims walked 70 years ago; same stones yet completely different steps.

I have little words to describe what I experienced today; all I can say is I am unbelievably lucky to stand where I do.
