I never went to Auschwitz but I did go to a few others - Dacau and Buchenwald. It was sort of weird seeing young children eating ice cream, running around playing, eating sausages, etc. on the grounds
Of course that happens at a lot of battlefields, like Gettysburg, It's a reminder, I suppose, that life goes on. I thought it was sort of weird seeing loads of Japanese tourists at the Arizona memorial. I wondered what was going through their heads as they read the account of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
