Oswiecim
Auschwitz is one place post cards just don’t apply.
“Hey guys, Having a great time! Wish you were Here.”
You want to share the fact that you’ve been there. That you’ve seen it.
That people were literally slaughtered. That you saw their glasses, their shoes, their suitcases and their hair.
That you’ve seen the creamatorium ovens.
But it’s one of those things that you just don’t throw out there in conversation.
Everyone knows the story. But you think, do they really know?
And then you realize it’s not something that can be told.
Not in the traditional sense. Not in the ways we’ve already heard.
Text books can only go so far.
Yesterday I stepped off the page and onto the grounds.
