@auschwitzmuseum @histodons @museum I visited Auschwitz & Birkenau in 2019. It was Maximilian Kolbe’s annual memorial ceremony day.

You think you’ve prepared mentally for what you’re about to experience, but when you realise there are no bird sounds, the atmosphere is not of this earth, you see the shoes and the hair offcuts, it hits you how you cannot possibly ever be prepared for the atrocities committed here.

We must never forget.
It must never happen again

@DickieRock @auschwitzmuseum @histodons @museum you are courageous. I just could not do that!
@DickieRock And yet, birds fly over the site and it happened on the very same earth we all share. And those crimes were perpetrated by people like us. This is what is a huge warning to humanity that comes from the tragedy of Auschwitz.
@auschwitzmuseum @DickieRock and people are starting to deny it again, that it's not true, that it wasn't so bad, that so many things were better back then. it's terrible!
@DickieRock @auschwitzmuseum @histodons @museum Thank You!
We must never become so arrogant as to think that it will never happen. We have to constantly remind everyone that it MUST not happen again.
