[A heavy but necessary history 🇵🇱 Visit to Auschwitz concentration camp]

At this stop in Poland, we visited the world-famous historical site - Auschwitz Concentration Camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. This is a history that should not be forgotten, and it is also a journey that makes people silent for a long time🕯️ The moment I entered the concentration camp, the air seemed to freeze. From the slogan "Arbeit macht frei (Labor sets you free)" on the iron gate to the cells holding prisoners, rows of wooden beds and exhibition areas deprived of all dignity, it was heartbreaking. In the exhibition, we saw the shoes, hair, suitcases and photos left by the murdered Jews, and each scene brought us closer to their fear and helplessness back then. This is not a fun tourist attraction, but a profound lesson in humanity education. Although the visit was sad, it also made people cherish the current peaceful and free life more🌍🙏 📍 Visiting location: Auschwitz Concentration Camp Museum Auschwitz-Birkenau Address: Więźniów Oświęcimia 20, 32-603 Oświęcim, Poland 🚌 Transportation: It takes about 1.5 hours to get there by bus from Kraków. 📌 Visiting tips: Remember to dress modestly, remain quiet and respectful. Taking photos is not allowed in most exhibition rooms in the museum, and please do not make loud noises. It is recommended to take a guided tour to better understand the historical background. This is a painful but important historical memory💭 Regardless of whether you are interested in history, Auschwitz concentration camp is a place that everyone should visit once in their lifetime. Only by looking directly at the past can we know how to cherish the future. #AprilGoodDestinations2025
