Auschwitz May 06

Photobucket Album


We were not really sure what to expect.

It was mad because when we got there I commented to Terry that for me, even though I knew it was real, my full concept of WW2 was from films so it was like the whole thing was a film to me.
Then we got there and it was amazingly moving and emotional.

I was crying in the room full of peoples belongings and was wondering why no one else was.
strangely, for me anyway, other tourists were posing and laughing in front of gas chambers and stuff.

It is a place that is worth going out of your way to see and was in many ways the highlight of our trip. even Terry, who can be a bit irreverent at times, was subdues there.
