I cannot say I am a car enthusiast (as a matter of fact I don’t own one) but I wanted to visit the BMW Museum especially as it is located near the Olympiapark that was on my list too. BMW stands for “Bayerische Motoren Werke” (“Bavarian Motor Works”) and the attendance figures of the museum are,…
Dachau concentration camp was the first of the Nazi concentration camps opened in Germany, located about 16 km northwest of Munich. The camp opened on 22 March 1933 (51 days after Hitler took power) and it served as a prototype and model for the other Nazi concentration camps that followed. In the twelve years of…
