I love this! My partner visited Dachau. It had a profound impact on him too. <3

Thank you Love. I am working on a documentary walkthrough through the concentration camp of Buchenwald, the biggest one that is still on German soil. I spend last Friday 6 hours filming there. It will be in English and I plan it to be as if you walk with me.
