Outside Berlin, our family walks through Sachsenhausen, a concentration camp in operation from 1936-1945, and our heads fill with thoughts.

Heartbreaking and brilliant.
Closed this page after watching, without commenting. Then reopened to say: Watched. Thank you. Too sad and pensive to comment.
thank you.
Staggering, eye-opening, must be shared. Thank you.
The bottom of the world
Really captured it
I can hardly see the screen for the tears coming down. It never gets easier to see pictures of the camps.
Thank you for asking aloud the questions…we all ask silently.

I can only say to your question will it happen again: NO. I have to believe that.
Once again, thank you.

Ironically, I just finished reading My Father’s Testament, the memoir of Edward Gastfriend, my neighbor’s father, before seeing this video. He eventually came to Philadelphia. David, his son, encouraged him to write this. It is published by Temple University in 2000. Mr G’s teen years were spent in a number of concentration camps in conditions that are beyond the most appalling horrors one can imagine. He was able to withstand torture and keep his humanity; truly a miracle.. I recommend reading . I was very moved by your comments and your photographs Mark. Thank you.
These pictures always make me sad, almost sick. And they should be. I’m very cynical of the cruelties the human race is capable of with their big brains.
Was eating dinner when I clicked on your video, and had to put my fork down. I’ve been to this camp too, and asked some of the same questions. When I was there, the surrounding town and landscape had not yet recovered from this atrocity, and I wondered how long it would take for the land to heal. Would the darkness ever be replaced with joy, or is this place forever tarnished?
Never forgetting. Thank you.
All love, because that’s the best vaccination for this disease.
Thank you for the sensitive, sad, personal, and compelling film about a subject too terrible and too huge to comprehend. In my opinion, it is very important that you took your children to see and experience this remnant of the unimaginable. It will probably have an important effect on them for the rest of their lives.
There are no words and it is an experience one can never forget. Thank you for sharing such a powerful part of your journey.
