Auschwitz Birkenau

Can't go to Poland and not visit the camps. I held it together better than I thought I would: no tears. The museum did shake me up quite a bit. There is entire room filled with woman's hair that the nazis sold to textile companies. When I realized it was real, my knees almost buckled. Birkenau is huge and surprisingly peaceful considering all the horrors that went down there. I can't say it was a good day, but I appreciate the experience.
