@auschwitzmuseum dei Nazisti è pieno l’inferno, là dove le anime ricevono le peggiori pene.
@auschwitzmuseum Today we honor the memory of Aleksander.

I wonder if Aleksander ever entertained hope for the century his birth and infancy had ushered in. Perhaps he once had hope for a bright future, a brighter world. Or maybe his 20s were more akin to ours. #Auschwitz #AleksanderKosmalski.
@auschwitzmuseum I am 42 now. Sends shivers down the spine.

@auschwitzmuseum these photos make me want to punch every holocaust denier in the face.

Sorry. This gets me really riled up. I'm a peaceful guy, but this is something pacifism can't solve I'm afraid.

We ought to lock deniers up.
