Sobering

I have always been disturbed by fascism, the holocaust, and the events that took place in concentration camps, but visiting Mauthausen Concentration Camp brought it to a new level for me. It became more personal for me as I looked at so many victims' faces on the wall only feet from where many of them lost their lives. It was a humbling experience to walk where so many unimaginable and indescribable things occurred. I kept thinking about the fact that each victim was either someone's parent, grandparent, uncle, aunt, son, or daughter. These people and their sacrifice should never be forgotten.
