-What are your expectations of the visit to Buchenwald, i.e. what do you,
personally, hope to learn from, or perhaps come to terms with during the
visit? How do you think you will react (emotionally or otherwise) while
you are at the camp?
Well, that's what I'm wondering. I don't know how I'll react; I guess it
just depends on what it looks like and what I see.
-What things, specifically, do you think are influencing your various
expectations--for example, books, courses, friends, etc.? Do you ever feel
like you "should" feel or think certain things about going to a
concentration camp? What? Why?
I think that there is a feeling that people think they are 'supposed' to
feel when they visit concentration camps. One of my friends who was at
Dachau the second time I went was going to go in, but she broke down crying
at the entrance of the camp and wouldn't go any further. >>
