I have been to Dachau. It was a dark, rainy day in late June or early July. As I walked towards the entrance, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. I had the strangest sensation I have ever experienced - sort of a terror sensation. Probably self-induced. The German spin on Dachau is absolutely sugar coating the inhumanity that occurred. The camp is mostly just gravel now. A few relics remain. There are a number of books that do portray the horrors. We had one about a priest who became sainted for his sacrifice. It has been lent out and I can't get you the title. It made it clear that the Nazi's treated their prisoners with sadism on a daily basis.
Good luck with the kid.
