Weatherday: Camp of tears

Knightstown, Valentia (2003).

After a cold night with ice warnings the day will be largely dry and bright with sunny spells.

Highest temperature 9deg in breezes that will shift from light through moderate to fresh from the south. Cloudier in the afternoon but it should stay dry.

On this day in 1933, the first concentration camp in Germany was opened at Dachau. Many tens of thousands of people subsequently died there from disease, malnutrition, physical oppression, and execution.
