Auschwitz - Birkenau

Ruins of barracks went on as far as you could see. We were told some where as far as a couple of kilometers. The scale of what they were doing here was massive and it is not only important to remember what happened as this was a death camp but also that many thousands of people were complicit in these crimes.

Remaining parts of a gas chamber. These were the ones built late in the war after the final solution and were built to kill at a much higher rate. The Russians blew them up.

I can't say I would come back here but if someone wanted to go I would. Just too important not to see.Weiterlesen
