Sobriety

The temperature was -20°C. The place is Auschwitz II - Birkenau, ex-Nazi concentration camp in Poland. Taken inside one of the Jewish prisoner barracks. Nine people lived in each bunk, and every morning a trolley came round collecting bodies from the very floor you see here.

 

One of a few from a trip I specifically made just to visit Auschwitz thanks to a burgeoning interest in WWII history, and specifically, Nazi ideology.

 

A sobering entry into the world of FlickR. I promise to upload something more whimsical next time round. :)
