    Yes of course. Had you heard of Vasily Blokhin? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_Blokhin Not many in modern history can be attributed to personally killing so many with their own trigger finger. Did you know that until 1991 people around the world were taught …

    Soviet run concentration camps, that the world doesn't really know much about.

Sometime next year, I'm planning to take a city break to Krakow, which is about an hour or so away from Auschwitz concentration camp. 

 

Has anyone been on their guided tours? If so, what should I expect? 

 

This is just to give me a heads up, as I know it will be emotionally draining for sure!

This will be something that I need to look into whilst I'm at it - I like history overall, World War 2 was always one of the topics I have interest in! 

Scary to think WHAT actually happened there .

Have you heard of Josef Mengele? :/

Not many in modern history can be attributed to personally killing so many with their own trigger finger.

Did you know that until 1991 people around the world were taught this was a German atrocity, when the truth is, it was Soviet and the crime blamed on the Germans with the full assistance of both the UK and US at the highest levels.

Can we talk about Auschwitz and many modern day Auschwitz.

They talk about Zyklon B but those Europeans who who had no family members nor experienced what the Jews supposedly faced under the Nazis are doing to the Palestinians what the Nazis did to the Jews. Zyklon B compared to the White Phosphorus the Zionist occupiers drop on the Palestinians every time a paycheck comes from American tax payers for Israel to test its weapons. They talk about the Warsaw Ghetto and its uprising but they forget about the Gaza Ghetto. Actually it is worse than a ghetto. It's been labeled as a open air prison.
