Mom and Dad went with 3 kids and came back to the states with 5. Both me and an older brother were born there...well, actually we were born in München but we lived here in Dachau. I don't remember it as I just about 2 when we left and thats probably a good thing. The camp at that time was basically just ruins and in disrepair. My oldest brother (8 years older) and other kids would explore some of the places that were accessible but I really don't think they realized what horrors happened there.
