    It wrecked me. Saddest and most chilling place I’ve ever been. (Have not been to holocaust sites, I assume they are the same). The horror of what human behaviour can descend to is repulsive and terrifying.

      I haven’t been to any either, but there is a level of… I don’t think words can accurately describe it. It’s an infectious psychopathy that belies belief, but I also have questions (I don’t get into a lot of war history) what happens when you’re collateral damage in a war.

      There are a couple older gents there that are survivors and one of the banners said that he now identifies with those members, feeling as though they were victim themselves.

      I think the human capacity to endure in the face of such horror… I just have no words, really. I don’t think I would ever have that strength.
