Mauthausen

On Wednesday, we started our trip off going to Mauthausen. It was a concentration camp that was located in Austria. It was a death by labor camp. The prisoners worked in a quarry that was close to the camp. This was a very humbling experience. It was really hard. I honestly never expected going to a concentration camp would be as hard as it was. Before we went into the camp we watched a video about the camp. People who survived the camp and a man from the US who was there when the camp was taken over spoke about what their experience was like. After going into the camp and experiencing the evil spirit that was still there, I don't know how they are able to come back and talk about what happened. I respect their courage and I pray for the people who were in this camp.
