An early morning start had us arriving just outside of Weimar (in south eastern Germany) at the site of the former concentration camp Buchenwald around noon. The clock is stopped at the time American troops arrived to liberate the camp on April 4, 1945.
We gathered to mourn all the victims in front of Bunk 22, where the powerful memorial is flanked by a citation from Psalm 78:6: "So that the generation to come might know, the children, yet to be born, that they too may rise and declare to their children."
