18/8/2013 The most notorious AUSCHWITZ concentration camp is located in a small town more than 60 kilometers away from Krakow. It took just over an hour to take the minibus from Krakow. After getting off the bus, I found that the entrance was crowded with tourists from all over the world who came to visit. At the entrance of No. 1 Concentration Camp, I saw the famous “Arbeit macht frei” (Labor Brings Freedom) that appeared in the movie. What cannot be ignored is the wire grid, which is everywhere in sight, and the feeling of depression is gradually growing. On the heart. Entering buildings 5 to 11, which have now been converted into museums, piles of hair, glasses, shoes, luggage, prostheses, washing supplies, a small part of gas canisters and quilts made of Jewish hair are displayed there. , Seeing that the scalp is numb. They lived in a house that was in a worse condition than the livestock hut. On the white walls on both sides of the walkway were black and white portraits of hungry Jews with tears and despair in their eyes, which made it hard for people to look at them again. On the negative floor of Building 11 is the gas chamber that still smells of musty. Except for the light bulbs, the only glimmer of light comes from the small skylight on the ceiling. It must be the location where the Nazis put the gas canisters. It can be imagined that the Jews in it are at the end of their lives. The moment of panic and despair, in the scorching summer can not help but shudder. The two cold cremators outside the gas room used to operate continuously, the smokestacks that billowed day and night, and the infamous "Wall of Death" outside Building 11 with countless bullet holes... The second concentration camp AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU, the concentration camp that appeared on Schindler's list was shot here. The scale is much larger than the first one but the conditions are much worse. The railway leading to the concentration camp stopped at the gate of the No. 2 concentration camp. There is still a carriage parked on the rails for people to visit. It is a stuffy canned truck carriage. Many people put small stones on the train steps to show their memory. Our Polish tour guide said that Camp No. 2 existed to kill more Jews. She also sarcastically said that compared with Camp No. 2, the conditions of Camp No. 1 can be regarded as a four-star hotel. It can be seen that the environment of Camp No. 2 is How bad. We visited the warehouse-sized "bedroom" where Jews lived before. The partition between the bed and the bed has been removed, but we can still imagine the scene where many people were crowded from top to bottom at that time. The malicious Nazis even had windows. No clothing, only a small seam was left for them to breathe. The wooden houses were neither cold-resistant nor heat-resistant. The Nazis pretended to install heating in concentration camps, but it was a dead letter. In their opinion, except for the Aryan race. Other races, especially Jews, are to be erased and eliminated from the earth. In the meantime, an old lady asked the tour guide whether any Germans would come to visit. The Polish tour guide said that an 18-year-old German girl in the Italian group she brought with her was an exchange student in Italy. The girl told the tour guide that she was German. She said she was ashamed. For this period of history, her grandfather is still a fanatical believer of the Nazis and still feels the need to clean up the so-called inferior races. She said that he is a complete lunatic and she is old. She quarreled with her grandfather at home and felt even more ashamed after visiting the concentration camp. What a stupid and terrible thing her predecessors did! Today, the former site of Schindler’s factory can be found on the outskirts of Krakow. The factory’s brand has long been removed. If it weren’t for road signs, the building would have been easily overlooked. Now it has become a museum that tells the history of Krakow. Schindler’s former office is also in it. There is a large map of the world on the wall. In front of it is a very ordinary desk. A stand lamp, an old telephone, some folders, a few old newspapers and a black and white photo of him and his family. The front of the desk was changed into a quadrangular glass panel by posterity, connected from the ceiling to the ground, and it was filled with iron basins made by Jews in Schindler's factory, which was shocking. In the years of World War II, the Jews in Krakow were almost extinct by the Nazis, but so many Jews survived in Schindler’s factory, and their offspring continue to live in Poland or the Czech Republic or Hungary or Israel or other countries. .....
