First slideshow is from Warsaw and Krakow two very nice cities especialy Krakow.Warsaw was entirely destroyed during WW2 and they made an awesome job in rebuillding the historic part of the town.

Second slideshow is very different,probably the most traumatic experience in all my travels.It is from the Auschwitz/Birkenau concentration and extermination camp which is about 40 miles from Krakow.I'm not mystic in any ways but in this place you realy feel like 'something' bad jump on your back as soon as you see the gates.1 300 000 people were exterminated there, mostly jews and most of them died in the gas chambers but not only..many died from deseases,bad treatements,starvation or were shot by nazi's officer just for fun.There is a pic i didn't take as it was forbiden due to respect for the victims...there's a room full of women's hairs ( russian army found 1.7 ton of hairs when they liberated the camp ) Nazi's were shaving womens after they kill them to make pilows and blankets...This place is hell .

Nice shots Olive - thanks. On the concentration camps - many still deny their existence - need to be kept so it never happens again.

How can anyone doubt what happened there? Denial is very strong.

very great job Olive........i must say  i am not proud of this part in germany History...i read many books and see many docus from this...i wasnt there in my live, i think better forme...that make me very sad to see and to know what was there in ww2.....

 

In German: Die Bilder machen einen sehr beklommen und auch betroffen, auch wenn es schon lange her ist und wir heutzutage nix dafür können.....

--> translate it ...

My poor english is enough most of the times.You always find somebody who talk a little english.In Poland most of the waitress in restaurants were students and their English was better than mine !

lol google like you even have a life :P

 

This was a very dark and disturbing part of human history.  The fact that people actually planned the extermination of a certain people boggles my mind.  This is not the only time this has happened... but thank God we had the sense to intervene in more modern genocide attempts.  I think of Rawanda, and of Serbia.  The German people are not alone in their dark history... many many nations have similar ghosts in their closets.

oui tu as raison lord les peuple ne sont pas les responsable de leur dirigeant politique le pire était bien sur hitler mais en france dans un registre moins sombre nous avons eu napoléon et avant lui césar . Il voulaient tous la meme chose : etre les maitre de l europe et faire une europe de dictature . 

Mais au final les européen ont fait l europe ... A  croire que tout le monde a toujours voulu l europe...... 

L europe est un gage de paix dans le monde t en que les habitants qui la compose accepte de vivre avec leur différence ..... 

Ma seule peur est que les démon de l europe revienne un jour et que les nations s entre tue pour redevenir indépendante ......On vois bien que des pay comme l angleterre qui est une composante majeure de l europe , reste en arriére et prenne des distance avec celle çi . 

Je ne vous cache pas que j es voter pour etre europeen j es dit oui a l europe et j es mal dans mon coeur quand j imagine qu un jour peut etre nos enfants devrons ce battre pour redevenir nation ..
