On Sunday we got up early to go to Auschwitz.  It was quite a day and quite an experience; one that won’t leave me in a hurry.  It is disturbing, sickening and mind-boggling to realise what human beings can do to one another and I certainly had tears in my eyes and a churning stomach more than once during the tour.  It’s a trip that ought to be compulsory for each and every human being.  A sort of non-denominational Mecca.  Perhaps then people would view each other differently and we could be sure nothing like this could ever happen again.
