On our way to Rothenburg, Germany, we made a stop at the Dachau Concentration Camp. It definitely gives you a different perspective actually being over where the war was fought and seeing the places from it rather than just hearing about it or watching videos in history class. I think I also got something more out of it after learning more about the Holocaust from the play And A Child Shall Lead.
Rothenburg is a really quaint town; it still has its medieval feel to it, especially with its surrounding wall and towers. We took a night watchman tour, and the guy was pretty funny and made it really interesting to learn about the history of the town. Then we walked along the top of the tower wall which was really cool.
