A very sobering day- a vist to Auschwitz and Birkenau Concentration Camps.
We are aware of the history and the attrocities committed here, but until you have experienced it, it is only history.
It is hard to describe the emotions of walking through Auschwitz. The tour guides do a fantastic job of recounting the events, without resorting to cliches etc. i think they have a sense of mission to enlighten the tourists to the attrocities, with a deep desire that we learn from our past.
Very few photos today - just a couple on this page to set the scene.
