The boy in the striped pyjamas

Auschwitz. Berkinau. Depressing. If we do not remember the mistakes of the past we will live them again in the future. I'm glad it was SO cold and bleak. Made it easier to understand how quickly people age and die in such terrible circumstances. 500 people living in a stable designed for 52 horses. And there were hundreds of these barracks. Plundered possessions in huge piles for reuse back in Germany. Tonnes of women's hair bundled up and sent to factories and made into fabric for soldiers uniforms. Shoes, glasses, clothes.
