No, I can't think of any clues that wouldn't give it away out right either.

No, let me get this straight I give you Germany, WWII connection and you pop out with Sobibor like some psychic. Now I'm giving you Northern Nevada, it's a place but wiki has it listed as city (which I fail to see why,) has a connection to Labor Day and BOC song "Burnin' for You" is a clue. I'm disappointed in you guys.

Yes! I'm at Black Rock City, NV AKA "Burning Man." An annual freak show that takes place every labor day weekend in the Black Rock Desert of Northern Nevada. I keep telling myself I'm going to go to this but the tickets, which used to to be free, are now quickly approaching $400. I think it would be interesting, $400 interesting? I'm not sure.
Yer up UP.

I didn't know about the "Burning Man" thing, but it seems like mystical fun. Must try.

when you gave BOC as a clue, my first thought was burning man but i just presumed that it was held in the land of fruits and nuts, then i googled burning man and, presto, to my surprise it was held in northern NV...
i'll get myself somewhere sometime this afternoon...

There's talk, I hear, of having "Burning Man" events in several locations world wide. The people that started it want to do one in Mexico. The Mexican government told them thanks, but no thanks.
