SITES AROUND THE AUSCHWITZ BIRKENAU​

My new material from the Poland-2018 trip took me almost a month of researching, writing, editing. I have visited the Auschwitz memorial site and want to share with you ‘beyond-the-fence’ walking experience along the locations of the historical significance, generally poor known among the visitors. With great respect, I hope this article can widen your understanding of the place, motivate for mindful history and to make your own travel.

I would be greatly appreciated for your feedback (comments, questions, suggestions) as it energizes me to work and share new materials with you. Travel your own history.

Oddly enough it is one place I have never thought about visiting, I did go to Sachsenhausen while in Berlin.

I suspect the difficulty for me is coming to grips with the magnitude of the crimes committed in these places.

I visited Bergen Belson when I was in Germany in the 1980's with the TA, there's nothing left of the original camp, all there is are mass graves, each one containing over 2000 people.

Maybe Stalin was right, one death is a tragedy, one million is a statistic.

Yes, it leads to something similar as the German "Democratic" Republic
