5am - on our way to the pick-up point
had signed up for a day tour to Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp at S$145.35 each...i tot the 7am indicated upon sign-up refers to the pick-up / meet-up time...
Nopx, it was the time we reached the concentration camp and the drive there from the meet-up point near our apartment was 1.5 hours!!! Heng, i slept early the night before !!! 😂😂😂
a place that looks so peaceful and serene now... who would have thought that it was where more than 1 million murder took place during WW2 & the holocaust...
batch by batch of 40-ish people per guide
through the gate of no return for that million 😭😭😭
into Block 4
different block represents different horror & torture...
*Book to read 《 I Was A Doctor At Auschwitz 》*
display of ashes of former prisoners which was collected from the crematorium after the liberation of this camp
they didnt know what awaited them when they boarded the trains with their love ones and their belongings...
gassed by these pallets
windows were sealed up to block the scene where thousands of prisoners were murdered by the firing squad at the Death Wall ... what about the sound of gunshot then?
为什么会下得了手?
the reality of 不下手, 那下一个死的就是我 ?
or they had became so mentally numbed that each person or each trainload of people they killed were just work?
could the ashes in the urn be from here?
where camp commandant, Rudolf Hoess, was hung
waiting for me in style while i look look see see in the gift shop
Do you have the courage to stand up against authority at the risk of losing your own life ?
