Twenty years ago, a mother never made it home from work. Twenty years ago, a son boarded a plane, unknowing it would be his last. Twenty years ago, we witnessed a horrific attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Nearly 3000 people were killed on that tragic day, September 11th, 2001. The Tribute In Light shines brightly aside the Freedom Tower and One World Trade in New York City, honoring all those lost on that day. We shall never forget the brave souls lost and heroic actions of many, twenty years ago.
This is the gas chamber of Stuthoff Concentration Camp, we were told it was designed to hold 30 but in the end was being used for up to 100 people. The door straight ahead leads you to the Crematorium of the Concentration Camp. You can see running to the right the heating system, this was fired by an external furnace that raised the temps to 30C so the Zyclon B would turn to a deadly gas. In the centre of the ceiling can be seen the flue that was used to send the Zyclon pellets into the chamber, sent down by the SS guards and on the walls the blue stains from multiple uses of the chamber... We must never forget and never allow these monstrous acts of industrialised murder to happen again... This is one of the few places on Earth where you can feel the menace of the past and the ghosts of the past reminding us to never forget.

This is the former disinfection station at the remains of the Buchenwald concentration camp. It's the one building in which photography is not allowed. This building is where the camp prisoners suffered the most humiliation and dehumanization. From the Buchenwald literature:
"...The station was built in 1942-43, years which saw a substantial increase in the number of people arriving from the many occupied countries of Europe - people deported from their homelands in order to be exploited as a workforce for the arms industry. Before their transferral to the many external camps, these prisoners were quarantined at the Buchenwald concentration camp for several weeks."
"In the disinfection station all newly arriving inmates were subjected to a humiliating admission procedure. They were required to turn in all of their personal belongings, their heads and bodies were shorn, and then - as a precautionary measure against epidemics - they were made to immerse themselves in a burning disinfection bath. In place of their names, they received numbers, in place of their own clothing, prisoners uniforms."
And if that were not enough, the chambers you see above are where the prisoners' belongings were "disinfected" in cyanide gas.
The building now houses an art exhibit featuring works of art by the prisoners they made while in the camp and works by others about the camp.

A beautiful building at the Berlin Wannsee lake. A huge villa in fact was the place where the murder of the European Jewry was decided. It's now a museum.
Testroll in my new old Rolleiflex 3,5 MX on Ilford Delta 100, developed in Caffenol C-L.
I believe for every drop of rain that falls a flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night a candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray someone will come to show the way
I believe...
I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe
The Freedom Tower as seen from inside the 9/11 Memorial. The museum was an overwhelming emotional experience and a worthy monument to those who lost their lives, lost their loved ones, and contributed to the rescue and recovery effort.

This wasn't taken on September 11th. It wasn't even taken in New York. But every time I look at this I think about the guys who were running into those buildings while everyone else was running out. I'll never forget that day and what it meant. I'm sad that so many others apparently have.
The Holocaust Memorial in Berlin.
Please also look at the great perspectives of this special place as taken by rita vita finzi, me*voila and jotKa26.

Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe.
Haven't been here for quite a while. Still an intense place where I felt cut off from the loud environment around, thoughts in the past. We #neverforget – in memoriam.
