Auschwitz and Bergenau

"I do not see why man should not be just as cruel as nature."


                                                                           -Adolf Hitler




"The final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands."


                                                                          -Anne Frank




The day after our tours of Krakow we visited Auschwitz and Bergenau. It is impossible to capture the feel of these historic sites, or even to fully reflect on what they represent. May this brief collection of 18 photographs serve, far beyond the means of a written account, to represent Auschwitz for what it truly was.
