A sad but important place to be seen, so that the atrocities are not forgotten. Haven’t been to Auschwitz but I have been to Belsen. Not as much to see, but still very moving.
my goodness! having read and heard first hand stories about the holocaust seeing this gave me the shudders and i'm so angry about what happened there. such a provoking photo (maybe provoking is not the word). aces!
I have not been there, but I have been to the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. and Yad Va Shem in Jerusalem. This reminds me of the room full of shoes in D.C. Gut-wrenchingly moving. There is no denying this atrocity when you stand before these silent witnesses, although many try to. Excellent shot.
I choke up when I think about it, read about it, hear about it, see video clips/movies/documentaries about it. This captures some of the trepidation of learning more about what happened there.
