The State of Bavaria has closed down and dismantled an exhibit of Nazi methods and brutality at the site of the former Dachau concentration camp, without consulting any of the Jewish, German or international organizations interested in the memorial exhibition which was entitled “Never Again.”
Bavarian authorities, told the JTA that the museum was being used for “private ends” and that they could not tolerate such a state of affairs. However, they made no explanation of their failure to consult the organizations interested in the project before tearing it down. It is believed that the Germans were embarrassed by the constant stream of visitors, including many American soldiers, who visited the museum to learn what the Nazi murder mill had accomplished.
