I get that the name is alliterative, but this is more like Dachau in '33 than Auschwitz in '45.

    I was going to correct you and say that two words starting with A aren't alliteration but assonance. But when I looked it up to make sure I was right, I wasn't. There might not be a word for the same vowel letter in successive words. shrug

    • alliteration – repeated initial consonant sounds in multiple words
    • assonance – repeated vowel sounds within multiple words
    • consonance – repeated consonant sounds within multiple words

    p.s. I support any name that conveys the obvious nazi connection.
