Just a few of mine and Mikeys faves!
At Checkpoint Charlie! This really impressed him.
Berlin Wall.
He said this place was moving! it was a momument to Jews in Ghettos... if you look the the labryinth has staggered stones. Mike said as you walked through them the stones got higher and narrower, giving the perspective of the Jews wandering lost and alone
My Boy!. He loves his soviet hat!
With good friends!
The human hair that they shaved off the jews before sending them to the gas chambers. He said he didn't think it aproppiate to take pics of the gas chambers and crematoria.... He said it was horrific in there. You could see the silhouttes of the victims that had clung to the wall as the gas enveloped them.
He laid his flowers here... But his batteries ran out so couldn't get the pic of him laying them.
He said that Auschwitz was totally moving, but amazing. He said that he kept getting prickles down his spine and that the atmosphere was just so heavy, he said he stood on the rail way ramps looking towards the Birkenau entrance where selection took place and just felt pure misery, he said it looks intimidating now, and god knows how it felt standing there being separated from your familyHe said they all came away quiet, he said he just didn't know what to say or think.... I think he's still getting his head around it tbh, it may be a while before he opens up about it. He said he was glad he went though, and hasn't ruled out visiting in the future.
Glad he had a fantastic trip though!. With some good friends and Teachers who allowed them a little bit of freedom to explore
