Haven't been to Auschwitz, but I did go to Flossenburg a few weeks ago.
Pretty harrowing camp and walking into the crematorium was so surreal and unbelievable

No, but have family member who visited (within last 5 years) the actual facility.
No words to describe it is what they told me. Just pure emotions.

I used to wonder how the citizens could ever let that happen, but after the last 10 years- it's clear as day. We better wake up fast!

The Holocaust Museum in DC, while not an actual CC site, is very well done.

Nole Man, thank you for sharing these pictures. It's not likely I will ever be able to visit this but your pictures helped me visualize it a bit better.

Here’s a few photos from my trip in ‘18.
It’s surreal how expansive Auschwitz really is and the Germans were planning to make it even larger before the Russians ruined their plans. My whole life, I thought Auschwitz was one place but it’s actually separated into Auschwitz Birkenau I and II. B1 was old barracks from WW1 that were called blocks. At the start of the war, a lot of political prisoners were sent here. It only had 1 crematorium and the “work makes you free” sign is here This area is turned into the museum you see today. BII is what you see in Schindlers list and is more recognizable. They are separated by ten miles or so if I remember. They even have Auschwitz monowitz down the road which was a slave worked factory if I’m not mistaken.

Here’s a few more from Warsaw and the part of the original Krakow ghetto wall that you see in Shindler’s list.

I went back in '88 when I was 14 (Yes I'm almost a boomer). It was harrowing seeing the railroad that went straight to the crematorium and the actual train that had hydrolic doors and hydrolic springs that ejected the people straight into the ovens.

Exhausting because you’re trying to rationalize the absolute irrationality of it all. Had to replenish myself with beauty by drinking scotch and listening to Mozart when I returned to the hotel.

Yeah, did a video tour a few years ago for a history class I was teaching.

Yet we have already forgiven Germany and hate a whole bunch of other countries and claim they are dangerous. Germany should still be considered a pariah if you ask me.

No, but I held the clothes hanger that Joseph Goebbels used for his coat.

Wait, is this actually something you can do? Where is this? That'd be badass

I am not trying to discount anything you've seen but I haven't heard about hydrolic springs to eject victims straight into the crematoriam. Regardless, I hope to see for myself one day. This would be a trip of a lifetime but expensive as hell.
