Auschwitz, Poland - September 2007

From Krakow, Cassidy and I took a daytrip to the Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II (Birkenau) concentration camps. There aren't any words that can accurately describe the emotions felt while watching the videos, seeing the pictures, viewing the displays of human hair, shoes, and eyeglassess taken from the dead, and walking around the very place that for millions of people is their final resting place.
Although it is extremely upsetting, I think that going was the right decision for me. I am just going to post some of pictures and if anyone wants more info on these camps in particular, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auschwitz_concentration_camp.
