A trip to Auschwitz – Birkenau Concentration Camp

Auschwitz Concentration Camp

Auschwitz…a black spot in world history.

Background story

The reason I am writing this post is not about discussing or analysing the historic events. I am writing this a part of a travel destination and present to you my experience through my photos.

Anger, madness, sadness, pain, thirst, hunger are some of the feelings that you see in front of you. I was not able to believe that, by only visiting this place, I could imagine all things like they were happening in front of me. Auschwitz was a concentration and a death camp at the same time. Due to that, prisoners were sentenced to death from the time they were going in the camp. Death may come to the prisoners due to bad living conditions, exhaustion, gas chambers, shooting and suicide. The reason that I am mentioning suicide is that, due to bad living conditions, the prisoners were believing that suicide is their redemption and they will not suffer anymore.

Feelings while you are walking in the camp/memorial are so strong that for me is so difficult to show them otherwise than thought my photos.

 

You can find my photos below and I hope you enjoy them.
