Asia & Europe 2011

Yesterday a few of us went to Schindler's factory in Krakow as a preface for the visit to Auschwitz. The factory has been turned into a museum and is very impressive, displaying a huge amount of information about Schindler's deeds during the war as well as the holocaust itself.
Auschwitz was quite incredible. It is difficult to comprehend how such a thing took place for so long and nobody knew about it. Some of the displays are very morbid and upsetting for some, e.g. huge glass cases filled with human hair, suitcases, shoes, and the atmosphere in the extermination camp is quite surreal, like it couldn't possibly be real.
