train tracks leading to Auschwitz concentration camp

We decided to travel from Switzerland to Poland to reach one of my friend in Krakov, and found on the road that Auschwitz was not too far from our point. After debating about the fact to go visit this place or not, we decided to go humbly and witness the horror of the dead camps. What we found was way far from our expectation... I have no word to describe what we saw, how they "manufactured" dead. They are two differents "sites" to visit, and the story is terrifying. Please respect this site and don't take "selfies" like those 3 guys in the middle of the pic , railway of the "dead wagons".

Memorial and Muzeum Auschwitz - Birkenau Former German Nazi Concentration Extermination Camp All over the world, Auschwitz has become a symbol of terror, genocide, and the Shoah. It was established by Germans in 1940, in the suburbs of Oswiecim, a Polish city that was annexed to the Third Reich by the Nazis. Its name was changed to Auschwitz, which also became the name of Konzentrationslager Auschwitz.
