Birkenau

Thanks to my hubs for the sweet birthday post! I am blessed!! Now, back to the Poland trip...

After visiting Auschwitz, we drove a few miles to Birkenau, aka Auschwitz II. Birkenau was built as the expansion of Auschwitz and designed for killing. It could hold 100,000 people and roughly 6000 were killed every day. Sobering. Horrible. The size of the place was staggering - went on as far as the eye could see. There, we discussed, reflected, took it in...remembered.
