A Side Trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau

While in Krakow, we made a trip to the museum at Auschwitz-Birkenau. While not an uplifting or fun vacation activity, it was definitely worthwhile. Everyone should go at some point in their lives. It was horrifying to see and hear what life was like for the people who were imprisoned there and the images still haunt me. I just can't believe anyone could be so cruel as to inflict that sort of torture on other human beings, and what truly astounds me is that similar atrocities still occur in parts of the world today, yet we do nothing to stop it.
