Day Seventy-Five.

Aushwitz and Birkenau

I got the chance to go to the Birkenau and Aushwtiz concentration camps while in Poland. While it wasn't a fun way to spend six hours of my day, I'm really glad I went. I've learned about the Holocaust in every history class since I can remember, but actually being there made it that much more real. The hardest part was seeing the rooms that were filled with the prisoners belongings- suitcases, pots and pans, toothbrushes, babies clothes, shoes and two tons of human hair as well as a bolt of clothe that was made from human hair.
