Over the past year I've found myself with a voracious appetite for WWII history and have gained a new appreciation for that era and those who lived through it. Knowing that I would be in Poland, ground zero for the greatest atrocities of the war it, the Auschwitz/Birkenau concentration camps were at the top of my list of places to see. I realize some find the idea of visiting a concentration camp overly depressing, but I personally feel I needed to see the camp first ...

... is Haruna from Japan and while she speaks English (a requirement of UWP), she still has difficulty every once in a while. Our host dad works for Vattanfall and we live in a small but cozy (and clean! yes!) apartment not far from our main facility.

On the 6th floor.

With no elevator.

I'm going to be so ripped when I get home from carrying my 100+ pound suitcase up those stairs.

Just kidding. It's not 100 pounds. But it is heavy.

He has a son ...

I left USA in May of 2004,bought one way ticket from Cruise Time Vacations in Dunedin Florida and I was on my way to Europe.I didn't know then why I had to leave and why no one wanted to talk to me about the issue.It's a long story.
I managed to take four pieces of luggage two suitcases and two small bags which I thought I will be able to take with me on the plane.I was wrong,the robbery continiued even at the airport.I had to ...

... to the bathroom and died was just very humbling. The dense fog and light mist certainly fit appropriately with the mood of the day. From there we went to the first Auschwitz I camp. This was the first camp and little bit smaller. This museum was about to close, so we snuck in through a back gate and roamed the nearly deserted camp. That was even more erie than the first. The museum showed scores of belongings ...

... what I saw will stay with me forever; The gas chamber, a small concrete room with a low ceiling where more than 200 people were executed at any one time, and the adjacent crematorium with it's huge furnace. Knowing that the vast camp of Birkenau, 3.5km away would give more of an idea of what happened at the place, Chris and I left the hundreds of tourists and jumped in a taxi. I could have spent hours exploring the museum at Auschwitz, however given such ...

... we know what is happening is morally wrong? I am not sure any of us can honestly answer that question. It is stated in the Talmud that to save a single life is to save a whole world. While I don't believe that every Pole is innocent, I think we have a choice to make when placing blame on a people as a whole. We can carry anger for all those countries that may or may not have helped, those that turned their backs and turned in the Jews, and those that come from the line of ...

I headed over to the Polish region of Silesia (Slask po polsku) to visit some friends and family. The region is still heavily industrial as it has been for the last 100 or so years. In fact most of the area was controled by Germany until the end of WWII (yes, I am know back in a country that calls the even World War II and here the war officially started in 1939). My train ride from Krakow was kinda ...

... Despite buying a map we managed to get ever so slightly lost and walked about 2 miles around the area of the former ghetto and the industrial estate where the factory now stands. However eventually we found it and went in to see the bits of the factory currently opened to visitors, which is a video display and Schindler's office. It seems the factory is being turned into a museum but there ...

... get my clock set, but Verno has me partying til 4:30 in the morning here 8pm there. There's a bit of difference in the time. I gotta get used to it. Her friend Bartek came over and went with us. We went to get Damian and Farmer. Farmer's name is Lucas or something like it. But they call him Farmer cause he's chunky. He's not chunky. So we went into Katowice and were going to go to this disco called Scandel. It's next to the SEXX Shop. But it was closed. So we ...
