It was a hateful regime, it is beyond belief what one human being would do to another, how people could ever deny it happened is beyond me...

My grandmother (on fathers side) was a Hungarian Jew, she survived the concentration camp.

that's another testimony to the people, you would have thought it would have made the bitter or nasty, mind you when you have seen such hate from others perhaps it makes you realise how bad it is..

I find it rather weird that anyone would 'love' to visit a concentration camp. Surely it would be the case that, if you had relatives that were in one, you might feel it your duty to go to understand what they went through, but the experience would be so harrowing that it could never be equated with the word 'love'.

She wasn't bitter or nasty, just full of love. Smile

Thread has jogged my mind a bit, since my Grandfather was RAF, and we have medals for the liberation of the Netherlands....I don't know how they met, would love to know but we are estranged from my father, so unlikely to ever find out. Sad

there are loads of sites that could get you started have a look, it might open up some amazing facts... Smile

Is it? My great uncle was in a Japanese prisoner of war camp. He wouldn't buy anything that was associated with Japan in any way, and I think that was pretty normal.

I still think it's bloody weird saying you would 'love' to go. People who do go normally do so out of duty and say it was the most harrowing experience of their lives.

'Where are the medals' Laughing

..Step grandmother gave them to us before she died, i can remember that it was the last contact that we had from my father....Yea...I was encouraged to do some research by my mother a few years back. Smile

It is amazing what you can find. My ex husband was working in removals and they were asked to move some archives, being nosey he had a look at what they were. They were ID cards from the occupation and he picked one at random to read and it was my dads, together with his detention records from when he was jailed by the Germans Shocked

I think it would be a very profound experience to go to such camps, it's very hard to imagine someone could plan and build something intended to just kill other people.

the japanese were an extremely cruel race especially to their prisoners ...

I've always thought it would be very interesting to visit those death camps, but I would in now way take any "joy" from it.

As so many mass murders and appalling acts were committed there ,I agree... I'm sure it would indeed.
