The chapters that have seen the worst behaviour of mankind and the ones that remind us not to repeat it in future. The chapters that preserve the tears and sufferings of the victims. The energies of this place must be heart-rending but at the same time remind us that we have come out of that dark period. Thanks for sharing the helpful tips.

I can imaging how I might feel and I have heard from so many who visited, that it really affected them strongly. Thanks for the very informative post for those who are planning a visit.

Just seeing the box of shoes and the photos on the wall had me crying before we left. Your post just left me with the same feeling and I know this is something I'll have to do one day soon. In the times we're in, I feel it's so important to remember things like this so that we don't do it all again.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12668583242254122108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015460673351898919.post-80092963248084277012018-05-10T16:33:50.102+01:002018-05-10T16:33:50.102+01:00Yes, based on our experience visiting both the sit...Yes, based on our experience visiting both the sites, I would recommend setting aside more time for Auschwitz II or Birkenau (which was a concentration as well as a n extermination camp).The Globe Trotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482933646988247882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015460673351898919.post-28050411068723033332018-05-10T16:29:29.104+01:002018-05-10T16:29:29.104+01:00Ahhh visiting Auschwitz is one my bucket list!

It's horrifying enough watching documentaries about the holocaust, so to visit and feel the energy would be too much for my sensitive soul!
