During my stay at Poland I visited Auschwitz, I can't really describe how I felt there, it was horrible, but not something I'd regret doing. I can only say that we were all lost for words at how horrific it was, something, even though we all knew we'd experience yet you can never be prepared for. We them moved on to Birkenau, again - lost for words. It's impossible to hold back your tears when you see something as shocking as this. I've seen plenty of movies and read plenty of books but honestly - nothing becomes more real when you're there. Eye opening but terrible at the same time. It really makes you appreciate what you have now.
Auschwitz
Birkenau
I would have taken more photos but I was very overwhelmed by the whole place to think about much else.
It was a very eerie place, strangely, there were no birds, it was a very silent place. It's as if they know what happened and an essence of it still remains.
