The day you visit the Auschwitz Museum, the weather was fine, the blue sky was almost cloudless, but every visitor could not have the lightness that should be in such weather. You may understand what you might see, but you cannot predict what you will really see. When passing by in the narrow aisle with other visitors, they can feel each other's spiritual dissociation and overwhelm. After the visit, everyone is suffering with an inner pain and discomfort but can't find the right way to release the depression and heavy. Faced with the pile of victims' relics, pictures and introductions covered with walls, visitors must first get rid of the perspective of the bystander and experience personal dignity and respect for others. The mere curse of Nazi atrocities is not enough, because it is not the result of some hatred of social rules, which is precisely what those who choose to commit in order to establish a new order of their hearts "more advanced and perfect", Otherwise, it is impossible to explain their calmness and inner calm in carrying out atrocities. Another important factor may be the "non-human, non-human" mentality of the perpetrators. The perpetrators have a sense of superiority and demonize people who are different from their own religious background and lifestyle, thinking that they are not human. Therefore, when persecuting and killing, they lose their basic compassion for people. This is the result of a long-term misunderstanding of the estrangement caused by the acceptance of one-sided propaganda. Simply labeling people as race, ethnicity, geography, occupation, etc., while ignoring each individual may be people numb, misunderstand, hate each other until the beginning of cruelty.

    Seen a lot and learnt a lot about the history from the tour guide. It is really an experience seeing these remains in real life. Must go to really feel it for yourself if you’re in poland.

    A sad and awakening experience thinking of what human beings are capable of doing. Felt a cold feeling when entered the cremation chambers. There’s a wall where people were executed, now flowers are layed down in their memory. A part of history, I recommend visiting Terezin as well situated in Czech Republic.

    An emotional experience where you feel what people felt at that time, seeing what they went through, hearing the stories, seeing what they left behind. You will regret not going and you need to see this historic site to truly understand the past!

    This is a World War II concentration camp in Poland, where Jews are mainly closed. The more puzzled thing is that the German Nazis from other European countries put these Jews on a train for days and nights and executed them here. There is a gas stove inside, which is cruel. Similar cases have been seen in other European countries before, but the camp is quite large.

    A great opportunity to fully understand the tragic history of the war. you can feel the atmosphere from outside of the grounds and even more so in the buildings.Usually tours are in large groups, so audio kits and headphones are supplied to hear your guide.There are plenty of toilets through out the tour.Remember your passport as you will not be granted access with it.
