-Did you feel the anger you said you felt on previous visits?

Yes, but aside from the normal anger of how could this happen. I was starting to feel a little angry at myself for starting to become numb to the experience.

- Do you have any more sense of purposes of multiple concentration camp visits?

No, I don't have a sense of purpose of multiple visits. I still remember my feelings from my first visit, but I gained something from my other visits, too. I am glad that I visited again, but I'm not sure why. I would come back to Buchenwald, but I would rather go to other camps. Again why? I just don't know. I don't expect any revelation or something. Maybe I'm just curious

-What was your experience visiting the same camp for a third time? Did you find it unnecessary?

There is always much to be gained from another visit. However I think that it would have been more beneficial to visit a different camp. I was too concerned with watching everyone else because I already knew what was coming and how I was going to react to it.
