Krakow, Poland II

Day 2
Auschwitz museum & concentration camp
The comfort of the present is torn apart as you are met with the frigid kiss of a dark history. Trudging on the snow leading into the Auschwitz concentration camp you look at the ground and see the imprints of your own footsteps and the trail left by your fellow travellers. Each footstep in the snow marks a desire to discover and learn. But throughout the years of the camps duration between 1940 and 1945, each footstep left in the snow was a step closer to death and demise. The fate of the prisoners would remain enclosed behind the barbed wire- their trail left in the snow never to be re-traced.
