Seeing a concentration camp is like a punch in the stomach. Learning about it in school was a watered-down version of what we learned today; walking where prisoners did and seeing what they experienced in day to day living turned the abstract into the concrete. The closest thing I had close contact with that could even remotely come close to the cruelty shown here was slavery in the south and visiting plantations on school field trips - but this was so much worse because it was recent in the course of history - there are people still alive today that can remember when these things happened.
I can't really say much. I'm still aghast and stunned at the cruelty that humans can show.
