Last year, when I visited Dachau, we had an Irish guide. He was knowledgeable about Dachau, but I disagreed with him on one thing he said. To my own surprise, I didn’t give him a history lesson and decided to let it go because my main purpose there was to gain some understanding of Dachau. […]

Joseph Mengele, often referred to as the “Angel of Death,” is one of the most infamous figures associated with the Holocaust due to his brutal medical […]
