Auschwitz
I was taken there by my dad when I was 12. I saw him cry when his mother died, cry when his father died and cry when standing in Auschwitz. I have never seen him cry since. He lost a lot of his extended family there. Even though he never got to meet them all and he was probably too young to remember them fully, there is something very tragic which even 50 years can’t wash off. It does seem silent. And I hope it stays silent.

Every child should be taken there and see the horrors that civilised people can create - it’s the only way we will learn and the only way all those millions of people didn’t lose their life for nothing.

Oh, and Electricteeth, perhaps I wasnt there, and if I was I dont know how I would act - no one would. But. I have been brought up to accept all races, religions, sexualities and beliefs. I will bring my children up the same. That way this dark piece of history will not be repeated.
