You guys that have visited these camps are so strong!

I have been asked both of my friends and my wife if we want to visit these camps.
But I know my self, there is no way I’m going in there.
For me it would be to much strong emotions and I would probably just break.
I think this is so diabolical what some human did to another humans.

But I think this is so good that people have “memorial days” and also visit these camps to tell other people what happened.
Hopefully there will not be a another holocaust.

Edit: i realize now this text become a little heavy.
Sorry for that!🙂

I would never have any lesser opinion of someone when someone does not have the stomach or emotional ability to visit a site of deep trauma. I grew up with it from very little as my fathers architect firm was built right next to a camp and so as a small boy I would "play" at the camps site and even at a long pathway towards an area where prisoners were shot. My parents would alo take us on a precession every year walking from the camp to a burial ground where prisoners and soldiers are buried.

And as I stated in a photo a few days ago, having worked with many survivors of various camps it is something that is simply part of my being. As a way to honor those that have not come home I tattooed the Auschwitz nr that belonged to a prisoner that was murdered by the NAZI's.

It is always good to remember that all over the world there are sites where unbelievable tragedies have taken place committed by humans and those places have a place in our world to teach better ways of dealing with those we do not agree with.
