A super early start and 5hr journey to Auschwitz. As soon as we arrive there is an eerie feeling in the air. We commence our guided tour and I am glad we have our own headsets. This is a time for personal reflection; as the tour goes on, emotions are high and no one is making eye contact with each other. We have all been deeply affected today by the journey around the Auschwitz. I really didn't know what to expect; but I didn't expect to be so moved. No amount of hiding behind my sunglasses could hide the tears......I am shocked by what I have seen. The impact of the 'Final Solution' really hit home. RIP to the millions that suffered, died and were murdered.
After some time to reflect on our experience, we arrive in the beautiful city of Krackow. The sun is shining and there is so much to take in! We have free time to shop, sightsee and enjoy some of the local cuisine.
Today has been a long day; need some sleep on the return journey. I am mentally & emotionally drained.
