My photos from Auschwitz: the long shadow of the human condition, which we all share

The entry gate to Camp #1

The original fence

1.2 million people lost their lives here, suffering from some of the most inhumane and sadist behavior ever devised by human beings.

The broad reach of this camp: Jews and others were shipped in from all over Europe.

The Israeli Armed Forces sends all of its soldiers here to remember what happened to their ancestors. This German-speaking Israeli is dialoguing with these gentlemen from Bavaria about what happened here 70 years ago. I am glad to see this.
