We had another early morning today as we have to catch the train to Aushwitz. Since i had then opportunity to go to Kraków, the idea to go to Aushwitz was incising. I knew it was going to noting like memorials we have seen in both Berlin and Prague. Getting to the train station is looked as though it was abandoned we walked through the town it was run down and there didn’t seem to be much going on in it. As we got to Aushwitz received our audio headset and joined our guided tour. I am really glad that I was able to tour the camp in a group, I am not to sure how I would have handled it if I was to go around by myself. Even from reading and hearing about Aushwitz, nothing could have prepared my for what I saw and experienced. Just hearing about what happened and seeing first hand I still find it hard to comprehend and just imagine the horrors. The torture rooms, prisons, dorm areas, washrooms, gas chambers all so inhumane. Inside some of the cabins that we went inside there were thousands of eyeglasses, shoes, briefcases and a there was a room that held four tones of women’s hair that shaved or torn off. Out of respect I only took very few photos and will say that it is something that I am grateful that I had the experience to pay my respects.
