Auschwitz, Auschwitz II - Birkenau...

We visited the two Natzi death camps outside Krakow today - quite a sobering experience.  Everyone knows and history has certainly shown what happened here from1940-1945, but to see it first hand is a pretty sobering experience.  To visit these places gives a full understanding of the scale the genocide was carried out.  Unimaginable that any human could think  in this way.  To preserve, remember and respect the history hopefully will ensure it is never repeated.  I only took 2 photos to remember I was there and what I saw and experienced.
