Where The F...CK Is Here A Joy?

This edifice in Prora, on the Isle of Rügen, stands as a haunting monument to misguided ideals. Constructed by the NSDAP-affiliated organization 'Strength Through Joy,' it was intended as a leisure retreat for the so-called 'Aryan' master race's youth. Ironically, instead of frolicking on Prora's idyllic beaches, many of these young lives were extinguished on the battlefields of a devastating world war—sent there by the very leaders who claimed to be their nation's saviors. Now, the facility languishes, untouched and decaying, a grim relic that has brought no joy, only an enduring legacy of sorrow for 83 years
