I don’t know what to write about Auschwitz. It’s the most important place I’m likely ever to visit. All I can say is this. Visit Auschwitz.

We all know the horrors of the Holocaust, and the incredible evil that humans are capable of, but for most of us it is a very abstract concept. Auschwitz makes that knowledge a little more real. Now, more than ever, it is important for everyone to remember the past and learn from it and ensure that it stays in the past.

I’m not going to tell you about Auschwitz, you can look it up if you want to know what I saw there. Better yet, go see it yourself.

Visit Auschwitz.
