I don't remember Dachau being very green, other than the worship areas... and the banks of the ditch between main camp and ivy covered chambers.
I remember getting out of car and starting to walk up to entrance, a tourbus had pulled in and was unloading. The people were animated, not really cheerful but secure in one version of reality... and there were happy smiles.
As I walked through back gates, saw much different look in the eyes of those who were leaving... and there was not one smile.

I found Chinese living in USA, originally from Taiwan, has no feel for this place whatsoever, gotta be their country history. Smiling, making photos in front of barbed wired fences, crematoriums...lucky bastards.
The cemetery in Malaysia, where the servicemen who built the bridge over the river Kwai gave me kreeps, but thoise folks would probably make pics in front of the graves as well.
