Auschwitz

While in Poland we visited the Auschwitz concentration camp. We won't attempt to describe the events that took place there, but we would encourage anyone to educate themselves and visit if possible.

We also won't attempt to describe our experience during the visit, but we will be happy to describe it in person when we get an opportunity.

The pictures are in black and white simply to show that this day was different to all others on our trip.
