Auschwitz

The site of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp is about an hour and a half from Kraków (see previous post), so many tourists make a day trip there. I met a Canadian woman named Christine at the hostel in Kraków, and we toured the site together. I'm not going to blab on about my visit there. It was what you might expect, and it was also very different from what you might expect. Here are some pictures. The blurry one of me was taken in front of the so-called "Death Wall" where some 5000 prisoners were executed.
