History Comes Alive
After taking an overnight bus from Warsaw to Krakow, we took an emotional visit to Auschwitz. It reminded us that any “inconvenience” we may have while traveling is nothing compared to the horrible tragedies that occurred at this concentration camp during World War II.
In this video:
- We took a bus from Krakow to Auschwitz
- Walked around Auschwitz I concentration camp (which had a ton of informational displays in the buildings)
- Then walked around Auschwitz II – Birkenau (which was MASSIVE…the scale of the massacre that happened here just really makes your gut drop)
