Description

The massive, granite stelae commemorate those murdered by the Nazis during the war. Brightly dressed tourists, wondering the maze between the blocks, are an incongruous addition to the scene.

Thanks for bringing back memories of this most horrendous tragedy in human history. The ability for man's inhumanity to man is beyond belief. Dwight Eisenhower was very wise when he had photo and film records made of what they found because some will deny it ever happened. Today some do. #11883861

I agree with you completely, Bob. Those films are horrific and hard to watch but should be mandatory viewing, lest we forget... or deny. #11883870
