Visiting Auschwitz: Twenty Years After Writing my Dissertation About It
Wow! Such an honest view, thank you, Jo! I don't think I could ever visit Auschwitz. I've been to two concentration camps--one of those was turned into a museum (Mathausen) but the other (Bergen Belsen) we were shut into the gas room for a ...
