Winter comes to Poland

In a cold and wintry Warsaw - taking one of my nephews around Warsaw and Auschwitz to help with his history projects.

This statue is of a 13 year old boy who was killed in the Warsaw uprising in 1944 - very touching

We drove down to the Katowice area and today we visited the horrors of Auschwitz Camp One and Birkenau. It was obviously quite shocking to find ourselves in a gas chamber and walking in the camps where 1.3 million people were systematically killed.
