Oh I see!
But the tin foil element of that comment?
It still eludes me
P.S.
Given that your response to my comment took almost 9 MONTHS, the term 'pregnant pause' comes to mind.

Re: Auschwitz
I've seen the harrowing pictures of piles of dead people whose bodies are skeletal.
At a guess I reckon they starved to death, which was probably caused by Allied bombing of the German supply routes.

Well, I've checked back a couple of pages, and can find nothing that should motivate you to invoke my username.
Care to enlighten me on that point?

bruuuno - Last week you couldn't understand why people visit Kho Tao. There seems to be a few things that you 'can't understand'
I went here in 2007. It's boring, not recommended.

I can't understand why people want to go to this, it's just macabre

Sachsenhausen is bad enough, and it was "only" a concentration camp.
Based on the designs of the great liberal philosopher Jeremy Bentham's panopticon prison system.

I got a lot out of my visit.
Get the right guide who can provide context and it is thought provoking and quite deep.

I went a few years ago...found it interesting but not really moving.I`m a heartless bastard that finds it hard to get moved by something so long ago....As said by someone else its sanitised now and purely a tourist attraction (same as chernobyl) Day I went there was thousands of jews walking round waving flags and singing songs, meant a lot more to them than me obviously...Did it once to say i`d been but wouldnt bother again....

Nurse i get what you say and i really thought there would be an element of that.
However it really is more of a sobering visit than a somber one

If you're in for half-hearted wallowing, visit Clifford's Tower in York.
Apart from being a major site of England's 12th Century mini-Holocaust, it is rather pleasant. And cheaper to get to.

Pee wee is that you I see visiting all those trees by the road side.
Wittell I think or would hope he meant that there were groups of people, like the German guards who carried out this immoral punishment that deserved to die in the 60 million of which 6 million were jews.
Nurse I like to think that it gives you a bit more of an idea of how barbaric it was to see it first hand rather than read in a book or watch a film.
For instance it was interesting to hear what the time was like for non jews living in krakow at the time.
It makes you think a little differently about certain things.
Comma agree with what you say. But if you go there I think it would be a miss to not visit the camps.
