Truth

The most terrible thing of all were the sun was bright and warm and the poplars grew on the grass were the children played yet it all seemed frighteningly wrong. A place of horror, torture, death, and fear with memories of which sane men cannot conceive. Today some gaze blankly, walk silently, or open their mouths in a silent scream because there is nothing much to say after one has pointed. Auschwitz The most grisly tourist center on earth yet people come for many reasons to see if it really happened, to pay homage, or to remind themselves. Yet today the sun is bright the grass is green and children laugh all this seamed frighteningly wrong through the nightmare of the Holocaust!
