Finally Went To Auschwitz

The weather didn't do these places justice. It was beautiful today. Beautiful blue clouds and green grass and clear sky so we could see the mountains. Amazing. One thought I know is terrible... Good thing so many people died or else the Auschwitz tour companies wouldve been po. No but seriously. It's hard to comprehend the hugeness of this and the system that executed the plan and the way people just accepted it. This phenomenon reminds me of a quote from the movie Dante's peak. He said something about if you boil water and throw a frog in it then the frog will immediately jump out. But if you put the frog in the water and them turn the heat on it will eventually boil to death because it never noticed the heat until it was too late to do anything about it. It seems that anahalation of the entire Jewish people was not the first plan or intention but policies and orders changed until suddenly people realized that something was terribly wrong and it was too late to stop the system. I always wonder what kind if person I would choose to be in that kind of world.I don't know. Just thoughts. Just observations.
