Shivers

So we didn't spend too long here, but we stopped on our way to Munich.  Just for some history, we went to the Mauthausen concentration camp which was the biggest one in Austria.  It was crazy to see.  We went in and watched about a 40 minute movie about it, which got pretty gruesome at the end and then we got to walk around the camp.  Some of it had been blown down and wrecked in a recent storm, but parts of it where still in pretty good shape.  We got to walk around and go into the gas chambers and the creamatoreum and when we were in the gas chambers I just got the biggest shiver once I realized what had happened in there.  It was a crazy feeling.  We were only there for about an hour and a half, but it was really intense.
