Sachenhausen Concentration Camp

Obviously you have heard about the horrors and atrocities of the concentration camps. You can read about this which is mild compared to many of the other things that took place about 40 minutes north of Berlin.
Pictures weren't allowed in certain areas and the most touching thing I saw was this small black shoe with a colorful bouquet of flowers from the top of it. It was only about 3 inches long but very intricate and detailed. But the story is that a 16 year old Russian student saved a portion of his bread at every meal to mold and sculpt this shoe. He eventually gave it to another prisoner, a German liberal professor, just before he died. The professor said, "It was the most beautiful gift anyone has ever given me." It made me wonder if the professor had helped gived morale or encourage this young 16 year through the hard times. I was really touched. Their portions were meager to say the least, and this truly was a sacrifice for this 16 year old.
