WWI & WWII Museums.

Highly recommended for coffee and cake too. Visit in the Summer for best views of the valley.

A delicate subject but nonetheless also a museum. Images offered purely for interest - Poland is a long way from Canada.
AUSCHWITZ.

Additional service accommodation and troop billets were outside the internal perimeter fence. Who the 'guarding troops' were is still a bone of contention.

Although there is a lot to see, and it soon arguably becomes the ''norm'' some key aspects remind the visitor just what this was all about.

I hope the images generate some interest and although there are many camps of this nature this ought to be a 'target of choice' if ever in the area.
