Vintage Taylor. Read and be effected. And brave for linking the treatment of Palestinians by the State of Israel. I wonder how long it will take before someone will claim such linkage constitutes anti semmitism. But never forget the excuses and corrupt reasoning of the creators of Auschvitz. They were not alone in their inhumanity to man. History repeats itself in the echoes of atrocity, even now. At least Auschvitz survives to remind us of what man is capable off. Perhaps that is why we should all see it?

Powerful description of your visit and horror of Nazi mass killings during WW2..I concur “Grief carries no price”segment,but when you write “no-one has tried to eliminate in the Nazi way” I am afraid the Ottoman Empire or Turkey during WW1 eliminated 1,6 million Armenians..my grandfather with 6 children & wife..all Turkish citizens of Armenian descent, escaped after miraculously crossed over from Aintab to Aleppo in Syria some 180 kms away..then crossed Palestine (Israel did not exist) it was only a political game played by the then world leaders …
No I have no wish to follow your valiant attempt to see these atrocities myself although Christine -my wife-is currently in Cracow with her Harrow ladies friends & will visit Auschwitz tomorrow Sunday…

How very profound a piece Andrew. A description of such a visit that follows many, but in your words, touching, implicating even, all of us humans. Quite how there are nevertheless some humans who deny the facts is beyond belief.
