Auschwitz

Some years ago my dear brother in law took us on a field tour to a placed name Auschwitz which I never heard of in my life.As we walked through the gates I red  arbeit macht frei , huge  letters over the gates.We had a tour guide and it was amazing what she told us about this consentration camp.I have never seen so much human hair in one place.I dont want to go into detail it will take hours to tel but one thing is a fact more than a million people died here and it is not a way that I want to see my enemy die. It was schocking!!
We then went to the Birkenau camp-huge! As I went into the camp we followed the railway line to  where the Jews got out of the trains. The Germans took the Jews,sorted them out into strong workers  and the others were told that they had to go take a shower and was then taken to the gas chambers.They were then gassed and then cremated.
As I walked the grounds of this terrible place your mind wonders of  and you try to place yourself into those who died  there. It must have been horrific.Imagine the screams  that game from gas chambers.
I salute the people who died there and those who made it.  I hope I made you aware of  a tragic piece of history and you can read much more on the Auschwitz site .
