Auschwitz - Birkenau
... system originally used. All camps were surrounded by a system of barbed wire, high fences, electrified wire and guard towers.

As heart-wrenching as the experience was, as difficult as it was to get there and back, visiting Auschwitz was probably one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. By definition it is just a place, but once you visit it becomes a reminder. A reminder of all that occurred there and all that we must never let happen again. And it is also a reminder that ...
