Thank you for taking us with you to this horrifying, historical place.

Your photos pull no punches. We see right into the ovens where the bodies were burned. We see the wall where people were shot in the head.

These are hard to see.

And then we are lifted out of grief, into the exultation of the human spirit. We see up into the light, out of the darkness of this evil.

And the memorials! So beautiful that they hallow the ground they stand upon.

Thank you.
