I saw no attempt to minimize or gloss over the ugliness of what happened with the Nazi's. Instead they have thrown open the doors and let in light to these dark places of the past. That struck me as an area of personal growth (and cultural growth as well) that I would do well to emulate.

As you k...This was a most wonderful TToT list, May. As you know, I lived in Germany for over two years, and also saw some of these things and visited Dachau. One of the things you mention impressed me strongly too... the cleanliness and tidiness. Even public restrooms in major train stations were so clean that you could have eaten off the floor. Can't say that here in the USA. I also agree about the walking, we walked everywhere there, longer distances, and it was so much more healthy that our ride in the car lives here. I loved the old architecture with history around every corner, I loved the beauty and the zest for life. No one parties like a group of Germans during Fasching or Oktoberfest! I loved the simplicity of many lives, much less complicated than our own. The morning gathering of ladies at the market in the small town where we lived, to purchase the day's meat, bread and produce was so fun! I think we all have much to learn by experiencing other countries and cultures, and I am certain that Dachau and the Holocaust left the same imprint on you as it did on me. We must never forget.
