While planning our grand European backpacking trip, Anny and I knew we absolutely had to visit Auschwitz. So much so, that decided what cities to visit based off of their proximity to Auschwitz. After our lovely stay in Berlin, we knew the struggle of backpacking was really just about to start. But, regardless of the fumbles and missteps taken to get there, it was an experience I will never forget.

Instead of giving y’all a history lesson over the Holocaust, I’m going to share some pictures and, hopefully, they will speak for themselves.
