Travel guide of Auschwitz II-Birkenau
This is Siggy Weiser. He is a Holocaust survivor. 75 years later he is back watching Jewish youth praying in the death camp Auschwitz, Mr. Weiser’s previous residence, where he was threatened with death daily.
Here they were killed, in the gas chamber built in the morgue of the crematorium 1, or died because of the impossible working conditions, executions, beatings, tortures, illnesses, hunger, criminal medical experiments, about 70 000 people, mostly Polish intellectuals and Soviet prisoners of war. In the basement of Block 11 of Auschwitz, the camp prison on September 3, 1941 was first tested by the deputy commander of the camp Karl Fritzsch, for the killing of 850 prisoners, the Zyklon B gas, normally used as an antiparasitic, then used on a large scale for the Jewish genocide ..
While in Auschwitz-Birkenau, a rose gave back some beauty in the horror of this place. You could still feel the atmosphere of the time. One of my personal favorite.

At the time I was taking this photo, there were a lot of ducks in the park that just ran away, shouting. But there were also those two swans, and I took a photo of one of them. They were cool and didn’t mind approaching them that close.

It was 6:30am in the morning, after a sleepless bus drive from Warsaw to Krakow, we wanted to walk around the city to take a glace at the city center. The sun had just risen and seemed to perfectly light up the hotel which had the bold ‘Hotel Polonia’ typograph. Krakow is a beautiful city with so much to offer.
