TWO PICTURES WHICH SYMBOLISE THE HOLOCAUST

THE GATES TO AUSCHWITZ 1

THE GATES TO
TERROR & GENOCIDE

AND

THE RAIL TRACKS AT BIRKENAU

THE RAIL TRACKS
TO DEATH

AUSCHWITZ I AND KL AUSCHWITZ II-BIRKENAU ARE THE MOST EVIL PLACES ON THIS PLANET

THEY ARE THE SYMBOL OF TERROR, TORTURE, DEPRAVITY AND GENOCIDE

HUNDRED OF THOUSANDS OF JEWS, POLES, RUSSIANS AND OTHER ‘UNDESIRABLES’ WALKED THROUGH THESE GATES AND ALONG THESE TRACKS TO THEIR DEATHS

THEY DIED FROM GRUELLING LABOUR

THEY DIED FROM STARVATION

THEY DIED - BECAUSE THEIR LIVES MEANT NOTHING TO THEIR TORMENTORS

THEY DIED - BECAUSE OTHER 'SO CALLED' HUMAN BEINGS WANTED THEM DEAD

And MANY DIED BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE THE WILL TO LIVE

~

NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD EVER 'WANT' TO VISIT THESE CESSPITS - THIS ......... "HELL ON EARTH"

BUT I BELIEVE EVERY PERSON, WHETHER THEY ARE JEW, CHRISTIAN, MUSLIM OR BUDDHIST - WHATEVER THEIR RELIGION - EVERY HUMAN BEING SHOULD VISIT AUSCHWITZ AND BIRKENAU AND LEAVE RECITING THOSE FAMOUS TWO WORDS -

"NEVER AGAIN"

YOU MAY FEEL MY SENTIMENTS ARE WRONG – I MAKE NO APOLOGY FOR THE WAY I FEEL - BECAUSE I VEHEMENTLY BELIEVE WE OWE IT TO THE MILLIONS OF JEWS AND NON-JEWS WHO PERISHED AT THE HANDS OF THE NAZIS, TO VISIT THEIR GRAVES AND SAY A SMALL PRAYER FOR THEIR SOULS.

AND, WE OWE IT TO FUTURE GENERATIONS TO ...

"REMEMBER THE PAST... TO BUILD THE FUTURE"
