Remembering Dachau Concentration Camp

In 2002, I visited the Dachau concentration camp next to Munich. The iron gate with the words "Labor sets you free", the high wall, the concrete house, the short bunk bed, the bath room equipped with poison gas, the German army. It was too late for the incinerators to burn the corpses, the statues of sacrificed Jews everywhere, and the flowers in front of them... Yes, just like in the movie.
The most impressive thing is the German tour guide who speaks English, a German boy under 30 years old. I thought that people of this age would not have a deep understanding of history and a strong sense of nationality, but I was wrong . As a person, he has shown a sincere attitude of taking responsibility for the atrocities committed by Nazi Germany in the past. It seems that he has committed a very serious fault, and sincerely asks everyone to forgive. Dachau Concentration Camp has been turned into a war museum, and there is a modern building at the final exit, which reads "NEVER AGAIN" in 5 kinds of characters, which is unforgettable.
During the whole visit, you can feel the Germans' interest in science. And the pursuit of efficiency, the values ​​of seeking truth from facts are truly reflected. Think about the Japanese who reversed right and wrong about history, think about young people who don’t know who Lei Feng is, and think that we haven’t been able to make a decent reflection so far. A war movie... A nation that is so impetuous and superficial that it cannot even properly express its own shame, a nation that cannot even correctly understand its history will never achieve great achievements and feelings.
This movie is not obscure at all, it is very smooth , the use of light is to the point, for example, when the officer was scared to pee his pants. I also like Salomen's deep eyes and forbearance expression - the smile and approval are only slightly raised at the corners of the mouth. The personality of the one-colored person is also well portrayed. Very full.
The only thing I don't like is the woman who accompanies him. She makes a fuss when she sees the number of the concentration camp, as if she has not experienced the war and is isolated from the world? And stupid, always thinking about other people's lost money, nothing Emotions, looks and body are not good.
