Vienna to Krakow & Aushwitz

Today was always going to be a sobering day. After losing 2 games of poker against the boys and 10€ in the process it was grim from the get go. Later today we would visit Aushwitz concentration camp and the later built Birkenau (built by the Jews et al under Nazi control as Aushwitz was out grown).
It was a beautiful spring day in Aushwitz and yet it felt cool. The tour of the camps (x2) was insightful and certainly paint the picture very adequately; it was without doubt saddening and moving. It's hard to believe there could be holocaust deniers. Having  just watched Shindlers List on the bus provided us all with some other valuable information on the war and concentration camps and the finer details and gave the Shindlers tour more meaning.
