Although Poland was under the rule of communism, unlike Budapest, the scar left from history was by WWII. Visited Auschwitz-Birkenau today. Tour was great but i felt that there were just too many tourists there that you couldn't feel the solemness in the place. I really cannot understand how humans can be treated with such cruelty and so inhumanely. Deaths were based on efficiency and productivity and a system was even established to make mass killings as efficient as possible. Living conditions were not even fit for animals. Jews were slaughtered, children were used as experiments that never contributed the scientific world and many many many other war crimes. Its quite sad to hear all these stories at the place where these things were committed. There were rooms, storehouses full of their old belongings and the most disturbing one was a display full of human hair which the germans used to make certain fabrics .
