When I sit here and look out at the roll-call square,
I see the thousands of people who went through this place.
I remember the many thousands who died here.
And then I think,
how good it is
that the camp has been been preserved
basically the way it was.
Because it is a call to the next generation.
It's a call to the next generation, because here they can see
how bad it can be, what people are capable of.
What people are capable of who have been turned into fanatics
by a person,
who can only see the evil in people,
and no longer the good.
I think it's immensely important
that such great attention is dedicated to this place.
If you look at the number of visitors,
you see the significance that attaches to Dachau as the first concentration camp.
You see that it leaves a powerful impression on people
of the horrific things we lived through here,
and unfortunately also as a reminder on all those
who didn't survive.
It is ...
I came here with my children,
and with my grandchildren.
They were horrified by the experience.
And they started to ask questions. The visit awoke their interest.
It wasn't until they had actually seen it
that they wondered what it was really like.
They asked me questions,
because there are some things you just don't like to talk about.
But I really do think it's proof
that times have changed.
I hope it will continue to change for the better,
that people will be good to each other,
and behave like human beings.
