Auschwitz 60 Years On...Reading: Alan Carr's 'Easy Way to Stop Smoking'
Watching: Schindler's List
Last year I had the good fortune to join my sister on a trip to Auschwitz for her uni project, I felt it was an opportunity that couldn't be missed.
Looking back now nothing could have prepared me for the experience and I only managed to get a handful of photos (see footer).
It was haunting to visit the scenes of such horror, and the memories will never leave me. Yet, disturbing as it was at times, I think the visit has been beneficial to me with regards to my outlook on life.
We are lucky for the moment; even when you think times are bad remember things could have been (and may still be) at LOT worse.
So I'm taking this opportunity, 60 years on from liberation (to the day I believe) by the Soviets to put the thought in your minds of what once was so that we can prevent the horror from occuring again.
I have it in mind now to make a photo that will highlight the ridiculous number of people that perished at auschwitz, based on a quote by Stalin;
"A single death is a tragedy; a million is a statistic."
I think this is important here to bring to mind how many people actually lost their lives; generations lost forever, people that should be here.
Never Forget...
