Glad to say I've experienced it, but wouldn't go back.
Also I'll +1 sentiments on Dachau. Very eerie to be in a place where thousands of people were executed, but I thought it was an important place to see.

I totally agree. I travelled for 83 days, visited 11 countries, over 20 cities, and I'd rank Paris maybe like 9th? The Eiffel Tower was damn cool, but the lines for it are fataing ridiculous, I got to pass them because my dad bought some tour pass, but if you just showed up at like 12pm, you would get to the very top at like 4pm. Not to mention Parisian's are mostly all buttholes.
Has anyone been to Dachau and Auschwitz? I have and thought Auschwitz was a much better experience. Dachau was neat, but they totally gutted a lot of it compared to Auschwitz (which has all its buildings in tact still).
When your in Poland, definitely check out Auschwitz and Birkenau (for the sheer scale of the place). As a avid WW2 history nut, I found those places remarkable.
