I know its morbid and alot of shocking stuff happened there, but im really looking forward to visiting there later this year.

I went to Prague last week and visited Terezin while I was there. I didn't realise just how bad things were and it was certainly an emotional experience.

"I didn't realise just how bad things were."
Daniel what sort of an education did you have obviously one of your subjects was not modern history.

This is the very reason that these places MUST BE SEEN by todays and future generations so that the world does not forget.
Yet despite all the evidence there are still those that say the HOLOCAUST did not happen

Ive Been to Belson Belson but find it more detached than this, you see mounds with plaques on saying 2 thousand people buried here,, not quite the same as touching history Itself, Not as emotional as those image here are some pictures taken after D-Day of Normandy now and then, The bit that struck me was that the building was repaired, you would imagine in this day a council worker saying Uneconomical to repair and knocking them down, yet here is proof that they some are still standing.

Any of these sites are such emotional places to visit. I went to the American cemetery in Normanday a few years ago and although we've all seen it on TV with the rows of white crosses it does not prepare you for how powerful a place it is. It is so well tended and serenely quiet. More teenagers should be made visit these places to learn what happens when things get out of hand.
