BUCHENWALD

Friday, July 11, 2008


Today we visited Buchenwald a memorial site located just outside of Weimar. The day started out gray and rainy and it only added to the sol em feel of the memorial to the victims of the camp. There were some buildings and lots of memorial plaques and marker stones from the various countries from which the prisoners came from. One of the buildings had been converted into a museum with artwork made by some of the prisoners during their time there. It is something everyone should see at least once in their life. Shown here is one of our participants, Scott Mooney.
