Auschwitz February 08.

I think I see your point. To me, seeing the photographs of the barbed wire and firing walls are enough to illustrate the horror of what went on. While the intentions of the owners may be good, I think there is far too much morbid curiousity involved in visits to the gas chambers.

Thanks. That's what I was trying to get at; you put it much better than I did.

I just realised that I was coming across as some sort of holocaust denier - which I am certainly not.

I have to say fair play to Jim for taking the pictures. I took one picture when I visited and it's not one I choose to display. As subject matters go I found it pretty hard to be inspired to take photographs.

thankyou! totally agree, there are many things that are better absorbed by just looking at them, that way it's just in your head.
