It was ONLY 76 years ago?! I always forget that most of the history we are taught was actually not that long ago... bruh.

Having been there on a cold February morning I can attest that it is a truly humbling experience.

Everyone should visit the death camps and see the industrialisation of human suffering.

Words cannot adequately describe the feeling you get walking through the two camps. Rooms, large rooms full to the ceiling with shoes and belongings sorted and stacked. Shoes of all types, from everyday shoes up to beautiful dress shoes you would expect to see in a glamorous period drama. An entire people’s lives captured and frozen in time.

It left a big impression on me.

My late grandmother was an Auschwitz survivor. Never uttered a word about it, but her actions always spoke louder than words.
