Hello Steemians! It's not a nice place that I'm showing you this time, but I think it's especially important in today's world that we keep making ourselves aware of what can happen when fear and hatred prevail over understanding and humanity. I am convinced that there must be room for that also on Steemit and therefore I don't want to withhold this sad travel experience from you.
Hallo Steemianer! Es ist kein schöner Ort, den ich euch diesmal zeige, aber ich finde es gerade in unserer heutigen Zeit wichtig, dass wir uns immer wieder aufs Neue bewusst machen und vor Augen führen, was passieren kann, wenn man Angst und Hass über Vernunft und Menschlichkeit siegen lässt. Ich bin davon überzeugt, dass dafür auch auf Steemit Platz sein muss und möchte euch deshalb diese traurige Reiseerfahrung nicht vorenthalten.
If despair was not a word, but a place, then this place would certainly be here...
Wenn Verzweiflung nicht ein Wort wäre, sondern ein Ort, dann wäre dieser Ort mit Sicherheit hier...
While I would like to give you mostly positive emotions with my photos, this time I have kept the pictures completely in shades of grey and even added some noise. They are meant to convey the desolation and despair that this place radiates.
Während ich euch mit meinen Fotos sonst meist positive Emotionen vermitteln möchte, habe ich die Aufnahmen diesmal komplett in Grautönen gehalten und sogar noch ein Rauschen hinzugefügt. Sie sollen die Trostlosigkeit und Verzweiflung vermitteln, die dieser Ort ausstrahlt.
I can only recommend everyone to visit the two concentration camps that belong to the UNESCO World Heritage List. A good option would be to visit the Polish metropolis, Krakow and make a day trip from there.
Ich kann nur jedem empfehlen, die beiden, zum UNESCO Weltkulturerbe gehörenden Konzentrationslager, zu besuchen. Am besten macht ihr einen Tagesausflug im Rahmen eines Städtetrips in die polnische Metropole Kraukau.
Visiting Auschwitz on a wonderfully warm and sunny spring day makes you think: How can it be that the sun shines on this place? That flowers grow and birds sing here? Auschwitz shocks, touches and makes you think, but your visit can't enable you to understand how human beings could do all these things to other human beings.
Auschwitz an einen herrlich sonnigen und warmen Frühlingstag zu besuchen, bringt einem zum Nachdenken: Wie kann es sein, dass auf diesen Ort die Sonne scheint? Dass hier Blumen wachsen und Vögel singen? Auschwitz schockiert, berührt und bringt euch zum Nachdenken, aber euer Besuch kann euch nicht dazu befähigen, zu begreifen, wie Menschen anderen Menschen all diese Dinge antun konnten.
Indeed, it becomes even more difficult to understand, once you realize that it didn't just happen in cold and rainy nights. No, the biggest crime in human history also happened on sunny spring days, when flowers were blooming and birds were singing...
Ganz im Gegenteil, es wird noch schwieriger zu verstehen, wenn man mal realisiert hat, dass es nicht nur in kalten und regnerischen Nächten geschah. Nein, das größte Verbrechen der Menschheitsgeschichte, passierte auch an sonnigen Frühlingstagen, als Blumen blühten und Vögel sangen…
Yours/Euer
Stefan
You should also show them in colour. When we put things in black and white we think "OLD" never could happen today. When they are in colour we realize this was only 73 years ago and the people who went through this are still alive today!

I was thinking a lot about posting them in colour, tried different styles, but in the end I came to the conclusion that these greytones convey the sadness the best. But I understand your argument and it's so true, it's important that people don't think that this could never happen again!

Wonderful history post @travelshots. I recently watch Hitler's circle of evil on Netflix and can relate to the feeling of what your photos convey in this article. Another movie that reminds me of this is "schindler's list" which is an awesome movie of all time.

Gänsehaut pur. Deine Aufnahmen und Worte treffen es gut. Ich selber war vor einpaar Jahren auch in Polen und habe mir unteranderem die KZ`s angesehen. Kaum ist man durch das Tor gegangen hatte man ein ungutes Gefühl, war nachdenklich und unglücklich gestimmt. Man soll sich im klaren werden, was in der Vergangenheit falsch gelaufen ist und nicht wiederholt werden soll. Aber was Geschichte ansich angeht finde ich es schade, dass in Deutschland oft der 2.Weltkrieg sehr detalliert behandelt wird und andere Ereignisse, die auch wichtig gewesen sind kaum oder garnicht..

Great post @travelshots. I think you've managed to show us around while capturing the sadness of the place beautifully. I have been here as well, and it is a very sobering experience. You are right with your words, all the atrocities that occurred here happened when the sun was shining and the birds were singing and people outside of the camp went about their business. This post does a good job of making you reflect on the dark side of humanity and wonder how we can let this kind of thing happen.

Bringing to awareness is not enforcing. He merely stated his opinion, didn't tell people what to think, just as we all do here in our blogs.

Meiner Meinung nach könnte man die scheiße auch einfach nieder reißen. So wie alle Waffenfabriken auf diesem Planeten. Es bringt niemandem etwas, diesen Schandfleck der Geschichte stehen zu lassen.

Danke für deine Meinung dazu! Alle Waffenfabriken niederreißen - da bin ich ganz bei dir! Und ich konzentriere mich auch gern auf das Positive, aber finde solche Orte trotzdem extrem wichtig. Die Nazis selbst haben viele Vernichtungslager niedergerissen, um ihre Spuren zu beseitigen und selbst heute gibt es noch Anhänger von Holocaustleugnern. Deshalb ist es ganz wichtig, dass so viele Beweise wie möglich erhalten bleiben, um sämtlichen Verschwörungstheoretikern den Wind aus den Segeln zu nehmen. Und klar gibt's noch Nazis, aber ohne diese permamente Aufklärung würde es wohl heute noch wesentlich mehr geben, denke ich.

A few years ago I watched some youtubes by a jewish kid who was making a documentary about holocaust denial, and he was finding himself on the side of the denier. One of the points he made involved the door in your 12th image - evidence that this is in fact the original door, and noticing that it had a window, and a handle on the inside.

This is such an important post. I remember being so confused by the beauty of the place. I visited on an autumn afternoon and the colours were stunning. It seemed horribly wrong to see beauty there. Many people on the group reported the same thing. The tour of course reminded us of the horror of what happened there. Seeing Auschwitz changed something in me permanently.
I went to Budapest afterwards and got into a lift with the place very much still on my mind and saw a sign that said 'Everything happens for a reason' with a huge smiley face. I laughed out loud. What possible reason could that cliche offer for Auschwitz? It is beyond reason.
Your images do it a respectful justice.
