Thank the Lord for clouds. Munich was much more our style when it came to the temperature. Despite having fun, Bryan wanted to go on an educational jaunt so we headed out to the Dachau Memorial.
Quick Facts:
Dachau (or Dakau to the english speakers) was the first Nazi concentration camp in Germany. Officially, it was for political prisoners and those in protective custody. It served as a model for the many camps to come after it across eastern Europe. As we all know, there was a little bit more to it than the basic description. Although people were not sent to the gas camber there (they did have one), they were worked to death, expirmented on, and starved. The grounds where the camp once stood now serve as a memorial. Visitors are ushered in, shown photographs, videos, and read horrific stories. The words ''Never Again'' are on the outside of the main building in several different languages.
My Question is this:
Are people inherently good? bad? weak? or is in just survival or the fittest?

On a lighter note....
SNEAK PEAKS ROCK!!
We found this awesome theater that shows films in their original language. Every Friday night they have something called a sneak peak. They show a new movie that could come out next week or maybe in three months. The catch is that no one knows what it is until it starts so it is a surprise for everyone. People get very excited and it was a lot of fun. We ended up seeing GI Joes (think of a cheesy blend between x-man and star wars) which was a big deal because I guess that it is not coming out for a while. I wish Corvallis had theaters that did a surprise sneak peak. Maybe I will start one...
