Visiting Aushwitz-Nazi’s concentration camp

I never imagined that one day I would visit this place in person.  I'd learned about the Nazi's concentration camp in Auschwitz on TV but what I saw with my own eyes still shocked me!
We learned from the guide, who the prisoners were, and how they got there.  The process of selecting and assigning prisoners to various work assignments, how their possessions (including woman's hair were collected, what the living conditions of the prisoners were, and how were they murdered there (usually after three months of hard labor and poor health).
Here are some of the photos from my visit to the Auschwitz concentration camp site (now a museum)
