The BBC flys a drone over Auschwitz. The images are haunting.

2. I grew up in a very old house that was haunted. It had

the memory both real and residual of its inhabitants from eons before. I cannot imagine what evil still lurks there. Very sad place. I can't imagine what has soaked into the ground forever.

The best estimates of the number of victims at the Auschwitz concentration camp complex, including the killing center at Auschwitz-Birkenau, between 1940 and 1945 are the following: Jews (1,095,000 deported to Auschwitz, of whom 960,000 died); Poles (147,000 deported, of whom 74,000 died); Roma (23,000 deported, of whom 21,000 died); Soviet prisoners of war (15,000 deported and died); and other nationalities (25,000 deported, of whom 12,000 died). In total, at least 1.3 million people were deported to Auschwitz of whom approximately 1.1 million died there.

the loss of humans and humanity.

9. The faint white dusting of snow seems to make it more poignant...

since nothing can ever cleanse the scourge of what remains there.

10. What was that flag flying??

Very, very sad to think all that happened there and how much was invested in it. So, so sad.
