00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.480 align:middle
When I sit here and look out
at the roll-call square,

2
00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:08.720 align:middle
I see the thousands of people
who went through this place.

3
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:14.120 align:middle
I remember the
many thousands who died here.

4
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:17.840 align:middle
And then I think,

5
00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:20.560 align:middle
how good it is

6
00:00:20.720 --> 00:00:24.000 align:middle
that the camp
has been been preserved

7
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:27.200 align:middle
basically the way it was.

8
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:33.160 align:middle
Because it is a call
to the next generation.

9
00:00:34.080 --> 00:00:38.640 align:middle
It's a call to the next generation,
because here they can see

10
00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:42.840 align:middle
how bad it can be,
what people are capable of.

11
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:47.840 align:middle
What people are capable of
who have been turned into fanatics

12
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:50.040 align:middle
by a person,

13
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:57.280 align:middle
who can only see the evil in people,

14
00:00:58.400 --> 00:01:00.360 align:middle
and no longer the good.

15
00:01:01.080 --> 00:01:03.720 align:middle
I think it's immensely important

16
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.280 align:middle
that such great attention
is dedicated to this place.

17
00:01:07.440 --> 00:01:10.760 align:middle
If you look at the number of visitors,

18
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:17.320 align:middle
you see the significance that attaches to
Dachau as the first concentration camp.

19
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:22.320 align:middle
You see that it leaves
a powerful impression on people

20
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:26.240 align:middle
of the horrific things
we lived through here,

21
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:31.160 align:middle
and unfortunately also
as a reminder on all those

22
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:36.240 align:middle
who didn't survive.

23
00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:37.880 align:middle
It is ...

24
00:01:39.960 --> 00:01:42.680 align:middle
I came here with my children,

25
00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:45.640 align:middle
and with my grandchildren.

26
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:52.040 align:middle
They were horrified by the experience.

27
00:01:53.600 --> 00:01:57.800 align:middle
And they started to ask questions.
The visit awoke their interest.

28
00:01:57.880 --> 00:02:01.400 align:middle
It wasn't until they had actually seen it

29
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:04.800 align:middle
that they wondered
what it was really like.

30
00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:06.560 align:middle
They asked me questions,

31
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:11.000 align:middle
because there are some things
you just don't like to talk about.

32
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:14.920 align:middle
But I really do think it's proof

33
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.720 align:middle
that times have changed.

34
00:02:17.880 --> 00:02:23.160 align:middle
I hope it will continue
to change for the better,

35
00:02:23.320 --> 00:02:26.200 align:middle
that people
will be good to each other,

36
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:28.600 align:middle
and behave like human beings.
