I don't know if I have the words to describe it, but I'll try. The modern camp site is really just a collection of barracks that have been slightly reconfigured to present the history of the camp. Each building focused on a separate theme, such as "Everyday Life of the Prisoner," "Living and Sanitary Conditions," and "Extermination." Certain barracks also had themed exhibits for individual countries that had a significant number of citizens sent to the concentration camp. In addition to these museum-style exhibits, Auschwitz also has the very famous entrance gate which has been included in many films, documentaries, and books. However, on the whole, Auschwitz seemed to be nothing more than a very powerful museum about the Holocaust. Birkenau, on the other hand, was more powerful and horrifying than I had imagined it would be. I walked three kilometers between the camps and soon arrived at the famous "Death's Gate" entrance with the railway tracks leading through. What struck me immediately about the camp was its size. It's monstrously huge! For me, the most disturbing aspect of the camp is that visitors are allowed to wander around the grounds freely. Nothing is off limits. I must say, it felt wrong to be walking around the scenes of so much pain, bloodshed, and cruelty. Still, there were many tourists doing just that. In the farthest reaches of the campthe places most distant from the entranceit felt almost scary in its silence, emptiness, and loneliness. Surrounded by the relative tranquillity of the modern world, it is hard to believe that this place was the scene of so much evil. Places like Auschwitz and Birkenau are constant reminders of the inhumanity people are capable of. However, they're also a helpful reminder that life goes onand so must weyet our continuing lives must always include memory. 41. This passage is best described as _.
