This is incredible work and should be required reading for all runners. Thank you Craig for doing all this fantastic research and honoring these people with your great piece.
Thanks Len, that's very kind of you. The work of those at Auschwitz who tell the horrendous stories it holds are the ones who deserve all the praise. It is a truly shocking place to visit but everyone should do it.
Thanks for the stories!! I will always remember visiting the concentration camp at Theresienstadt - that was one of the most moving experiences you can have. It is such an important and right decision not to raze the buildings to the ground, so that everyone can be reminded of the cruel crimes that happened there.
Thank you, I have now been to both Dachau and Auschwitz, and the experience at both is heart-breaking. The scale of the genocide at Auschwitz is barely comprehensible, even when you are there.
I find myself in awe of those survivors who decided to maintain it. I think I would have been tempted to wipe it off the face of the earth. They definitely made the right decision though - something that is starkly demonstrated by the Nazis demolishing the gas chambers at Auschwitz II to try and cover things up.
