It was a very tragic but still life-changing experience to see and learn about the atrocities committed within the camps.

One moment that I will never forget is that of going into the gas chamber and seeing the fingernail markings and the dimly lit room where thousands of people were murdered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is truly a horror depicted in Borowski\u2019s book and an experience one must see in one&#8217;s lifetime.
