Thats a great effort for me, espeially that I usually travel solo.DUTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979375799258978432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29328508.post-37461428390668114632019-08-12T16:48:47.894+02:002019-08-12T16:48:47.894+02:00Oh, this makes me sick.

I had nightmares as a girl after I read Anne Frank’s “Diary “ and can only imagine how someone who lived through that time as a child at closer to it all , like you did, would feel seeing this horrid place. I would have had a hard time controlling my temper at the behavior of those tourists . I am so sorry as I am afraid that many of them were probably “Ugly Americans” , as that kind of behavior seems to be encouraged by our so called leader just now.

Not somewhere I would want to visit.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01103884780854638066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29328508.post-83026791434989915742019-08-11T16:36:57.289+02:002019-08-11T16:36:57.289+02:00Gattina,

When I was in high school, we saw a film entitled “Night and Fog” about the horrors of the concentration camps. I was horrified. The images never left me. To see such a place reduced to a frivolous tourist attraction is heartbreaking. I am speechless. Forgetting our past endangers our future. We are on a dangerous precipice.

The juxtaposition of laughter amid a museum of true horror shows a society desensitized to a dangerous and frightening degree because, as recent events show, all this could happen again to certain groups. Lest we forget!Penelope Noteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01965692242969563279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29328508.post-25703210898859153122019-08-11T15:43:10.197+02:002019-08-11T15:43:10.197+02:00I agree with you.

It was a sombre, sobering place, as it should be.<br /><br />I worry each day about the state of this world and the attitudes of people who deny or disbelieve the Holocaust. From there leads repetition and already anti-Semitism is being expressed more openly. <br /><br />Brexit, and those who champion it, has a lot to answer for. It has brought out the worst in so many and it will not get better.jabbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12176958811589489979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29328508.post-5477054160587202362019-08-11T00:21:54.280+02:002019-08-11T00:21:54.280+02:00€30 is very expensive.

While tourist behaviour may be poor, the only way some people can deal with seeing such horror is with humour. I am surprised there were young children there. What on earth can they make of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
