I visited the Auschwitz-Berkenau Nazi death camp the day after Christmas 2 years ago with a friend. It was sobering. If I ever think I am having a bad day, I will remind myself that even my worst days would have been a relief for the victims of the extermination camps. Most of the photos which I took speak for themselves.
One picture we were not allowed to take was of the room behind a glass wall filled with nearly 2 tons of human hair.

Heart wrenching. Your pix are amazing, and still hard to grasp, even after all this time. The special on HBO last night “Night Will Fall” was the most sickening, depraved, awful thing I had ever seen. I had to look away numerous times. Now I know why they hid the footage for 70 years. The did make the guards bury many of the bodies when they liberated Bergen Belsin, and marched the people of a city 10 miles from there into the camp to see what they ignored every day, and made them look at the tens of thousands of bodies just lying in a field in the camp.Unfortunately, the killings in Cambodia, Rawanda, Iraq, Syria and elsewhere show that very little has changed. Mans inhumanity to man is alive and well.
