Auschwitz

It has been weeks since I posted. There are so many reasons for it, but I would say the main one is to try and put into words what it is like to be at Auschwitz is like trying to empty the ocean with a thimble.
The day of our visit was filled with rain, at first it was the kind of rain that made you want to run for cover and stay there until it is over, but unlike ourselves the dear souls that arrived there found none. As the day wore on it turn to a soft drizzle the simply gray dark skies How fitting.
What you see here are the part of the camp call Aushwitz. It originally was a camp for the Polish army. The German efficency. The buildings housed workers. The Germans meeded slave labor.
The bottom picture is the famous saying that greeted a prisoner as they entered the camp-"Work will make you free"
