Dachau

"Arbeit Macht Frei" roughly translates as “Work makes (one) free".

Such a somber place to visit, but it was somewhere I just had to go. It's just so hard to comprehend what occurred here and at other places during that period of infamy.

Coventry - Ruins of St Michael's

On the night of 14 November 1940, the city of Coventry was devastated by bombs dropped by the Luftwaffe. The Cathedral burned with the city, having been hit by several incendiary devices.

The decision to rebuild the cathedral was taken the morning after its destruction. Rebuilding would not be an act of defiance, but rather a sign of faith, trust and hope for the future of the world.

Shortly after the destruction, the cathedral stonemason, Jock Forbes, noticed that two of the charred medieval roof timbers had fallen in the shape of a cross. He set them up in the ruins where they were later placed on an altar of rubble with the moving words 'Father Forgive' inscribed on the Sanctuary wall.
