Auschwitz Pictures.


The famous sign returned.




Low tourist season, it was creepy to be walking through some of these buildings by myself.



Standing cells.
The walls are half down to show you how small the standing cells were. They left some people in there (up to four at time) until they died. The door to get into these square cells are on low on the ground. You can kind of see one in this picture, the door of it anyway.


"The Wall", between barracks #10 and #11, thousands died from the firing squad here.


Looking at "the wall" from a distance. It was very heart wrenching to walk in there and absorb what happened. I was very uncomfortable. (Erik took all Auschwitz pictures). We had to tour this camp one at a time because children are not allowed. It was probably better that way anyway, a place of silence.
