Birkenau Concentration Camp

Having missed the bus to Birkenau, a huge concentration camp near Oswiecim, with its railway “station terminus” for the hundreds of thousands of Jews from all over Europe, who also perished in the 2 main gas chambers at Birkenau. The 175 hectare site included several hundred chimneys which had heated the wooded sheds (designed for stabling 52 horses), each of which housed 400 people.

Caught the bus back to Auschwitz to get the bus back to Krakow, with the numerous shocking images and memories from the trip..
