Keep Moving Week 31 - Part 2

We visited Państwowe Muzeum Auschwitz-Birkenau which is a museum on the site of the Nazi German Auschwitz concentration camp in Oświęcim, Poland.  The site includes the main concentration camp at Auschwitz I and the remains of the concentration and extermination camp at Auschwitz II-Birkenau. Both were developed and run by Nazi Germany during its occupation of Poland in 1939–1945. The Polish government has preserved the site as a research centre and in memory of the 1.1 million people who died there, including 960,000 Jews, during World War II and the Holocaust. It became a World Heritage Site in 1979.  There is a myth that the birds don't sing at Auschwitz but it is of course not true, wildlife always returns.  We also saw the "wall of tears"and the Krakow Ghetto before some lighter activities.  We found the Krakow statue to Wojtek the bear (there is also one In Duns and Princess Street gardens) and visited the museum of Illusions.
