6. Heartbreaking.

Yet I'm glad we do have a name to put to those beautiful words that should echo down the ages.

He was a human, and he was not forgotten.

7. How sad

we are still trying to maintain humanity, freedom and unbroken after thousands of years by small minded, cruel unenlightened people.

The struggle to rise above immoral, amoral, malignant, destructive depraved plots by those so frightened and small beings that hate themselves so mush, they will do anything to anyone to make themselves feel better.

11. Amidst the horrors of Auschwitz

Cell block 11 stands out as a particularly horrifying place. It was the torture block in the main camp and the place where the first Zyklon B experiments took place. RIP.
