    My grandmother survived 9 months in that hell, her parents and siblings were gassed upon arrival. Her nightmarish experience continues to shadow my family even after her passing. I usually avoid seeing pictures or watching videos of the camps; it's too raw and too close for comfort. My grandmother's tattoo and her shattered psyche were always a constant reminder of what we lost and what we cannot afford to lose. I don't know why I decided to watch this vlog but I'm glad I did; you did a good job (and despite all the haters the music wasn't bad).

I was really worried when I saw this video as this is not something people usually put on the vlog.. but you really captured it in a respectful way, showing the overall atmosphere of the place but not going into the gruesome detail that I think is only appropriate to experience whilst you are actually there.

    My Mother in Law grew up in the Netherlands and was a teenager during the war. They rarely talked about life in occupied Netherlands, but she did tell us after many years how she remembered the trains that were headed to the camps and seeing the fingers of hundreds of Jews and prisoners of war sticking out between the slats in the box cars as they slowed down when coming through her town in Haren. She will never forget it and she is now 90. It is so sickening to hear people say that it never happened.

    In 1975 a man started working with me. After a few weeks he told me and the other at work what he and his family have been through.
    He was a survivor of Auschwitz.
    He told how his whole family - grandparents, mother, father, siblings and cousins - about 15-20 people (don't remember exactly) were killed in the camp. He was rescued by the russians, but ended up in Sweden in 1949 or 1950 ....
    For me as a 17 year old, it was hard to believe everything he told me. But when I got older I really understood.

    When I worked for a local bank in Maryland, I work in the Jewish neighborhood. A lot of my customers came in and saw him try to hide the numbers on their arms. Some did not. My heart always dropped when I saw that. Knowing that they have been through hell. I just met a lady in my community who’s mother was best friends with Anne Frank. It’s amazing you never know who you’re talking to. She told me where I could go to verify it and read all about it she said. I did!! Please except your neighbors especially if they are different from you. You never know you may learn something new!! I love meeting new people from different ethnic groups.

You know the history, you hear of the horrors, but to see it like this... raw and real... to walk on the same soil, amidst the spirits of those who endured the unimaginable pain of the worst of humanity. Unbelievable.
    Someday, I would love to travel to this place, to pay my respect to all those who suffered so the world would learn a lessen no one should have had to learn, so as to never repeat an atrocity such as this. Thank you for this one, Kara & Nate. ❤

    In sixth grade I was lucky enough to meet a survivor that went through 13 concentration camps. She was super kind, and if I would have been in that circumstance I would be really cold and rude. It is not fare that innocent people were killed, and still are due to sexual preference, race, looks or even religion.

    No wonder things like this tend to reoccur as a good portion of people were so focused on background music that they apparently were not aware of the serious nature of the video and the respectful manner it was presented. If you want to be offended by something so badly that it completely distracts you from onw of the most significant atrocities in recent history I ahve little hope that something of this nature is not imminent. If you need so badly to be offended how about taking offence to the millions of people who died at the hands of a radical group that still exists to this day? If you have to have some somber Hollywood music to cue you in that the subject is somber or if you allow something as trivial as a little music played occasionally in a low volume to completely distract you I doubt you would or have even seen the signs of a resurgence of this exact mentality that caused this place to exist in the first place.

    Thank you for keeping the video and talking at the memorial to an absolute minimum and for using quiet, respectful tones. When I’ve gone to the death real way and seeing people taking selfie’s with the peace sign at hellfire pass or the bridge with absolutely no reference or respect for what the place is it really upsets me. Thank you for showing respect and being so informative and helpful and yet tactful and appropriate with this video. Really a very good job. Cheers to you both

    The clip of all the striped uniforms made me feel sick. I remember my 6th grade teacher reading the Boy in the Striped Pajamas, which is by no means the most historically accurate, but was age appropriate, to us. She read it well, and she tried her very best to get a bunch of 12 year olds from western Pennsylvania to understand that liberation, at that time, was only 75 years ago. We absolutely didn’t get it.

I cried when I walked past the (unshown in the VLOG) piles of shoes, suitcases, hair combs, etc. Its just so ... incomprehensible. How, why? I was angry, sad, mad, gutted. I went with a friend and she was trying to chat me up while walking through the said exposition and i just shoved her off and grawled "Dont touch me". Its hard to describe...

    I appreciate this video, think you were both incredibly sensitive, and do not think the music was upbeat at all. As someone who has also traveled to 40+ countries, I can tell you that those who are criticizing have clearly never seen “inappropriate” and “disrespectful”. I think the survivors would be honored to be remembered. Further, I believe travelers appreciate having someone document their honest firsthand experience as well as recommendations for ease of travel. Many hugs as always.

    I visited this place about 9 years ago and have to say of all the places I visited around Europe ( I live in Ireland ) there were a few notable places that left me feeling a whole range of emotions from anger to sadness, pity and resentment.
    This was one of them.
    I've been to several concentration camps and swore after Dachau that I would never set foot in one again.
    Well I did eventually return to one and it was here.
    I was overcome with an enormous feeling of sorrow and empathy for the people that not only died here but the ones that survived after enduring so much horror.
    There are several spots in the second larger camp that seem innocuous but u soon realise that on every inch of this place something horrible occurred.
    As u enter the camp and go past the car that was left there as a memorial, u go down a lane way that ran between the women and children's camps.
    All what u see is obvious so u know what you're looking at.
    But when u get to the bottom and off to the left there is a small wood.
    Here amongst the trees u first notice how quiet it is.
    Then u notice how few if any birds there are anywhere near the camp.
    Amongst these trees was where the women and children were forced to strip and wait their turn to enter the buildings that lead to the chambers.
    Many of them were shot on the spot right there so to stand there was eeire to say the least.
    Then once u come out the other end this is where u see the pool shown in the video at 8:25.
    As I approached it, it seemed like a normal small pool of water until that is I spotted the memorial plaque.
    In the water there are the ashes of hundreds of thousands of men women and children.
    Just dumped there.
    This one tiny place.
    That really struck me hard at the absolute callousness of the men who ran the camp.
    The undignified cruel treatment of fellow human beings was manifested here in this small body of water right at the back of the camp.
    I came away from this place feeling empty and sad like I'd bever felt before.
    It's so important we never forget what human beings were capable of in the 20th century.

    The guided tours give a insight into the devastation of it. Our guide leader had an Aunt who was murdered here and she felt it was her duty to keep her legacy going as an example for the future human race not to follow.

I had been up all night on a train from Budapest to Krakow (trying to keep the gypsies from bothering me) and then just found a hotel - showered and ate breakfast. I took a taxi to Auschwitz and joined an English speaking tour group. There were 4 of us and unfortunately half (2 of them) were English skinheads who were there to get off on the experience. It really hit home that this kind of hatred was still alive. Besides that there was snow, sleet, and all round bad weather the day I went. A big life changing experience and one that I hope all people will go and see. Never forget!
