Auschwitz

Auschwitz was definitly a different experience. I'm glad that Annika and I decided to go. We both are very into the holocaust and have been wanting to see the camp for sometime.

This was the entrace for the people into the first camp. They would later create Birkenau or Auschwitz II.

This was blockade #10 where many experiments for steralization where preformed on mostly Jewish women.

The death wall


This is where many of the prisoners slept. The heater which is running through the middle never worked.

What is left of one of the six gas chamber in the Birkenau camp


This is the end of the line where trains would come and the prisoners would be split into those who would go straight to the gas chambers and those who were decided could be used as laborers.
It's definitly a lot to stomach, but so worth seeing. The experience is really beyond words, it's simply undescribable.

(And as always ignore my spelling. Right now I'm in Italy and I definitly don't speak Italian)
