AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU

I DID NOT WANT to write about Auschwitz after visiting it because the suffering inflicted on humanity by the Nazis cannot be captured in few sentences.  However, the personal experience of seeing the extermination camp has kept me thinking about the power of evil to eliminate difference and at the same time the power of love to triumph over suffering and death.
Millions of persons from the entire world have visited the grounds of the former concentration camp since the creation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau National Museum in 1947.
