We visited the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp/death camp complex while we were in Kraków, but I really didn't take too many pictures. I felt it was a place more for contemplation than photography, although some people have posted some excellent and moving galleries of it. I also think part of it was because we had to go on a three-hour tour with 30-40 people in very high temperatures, and we didn't much care for the tour guide, plus the huge crowds going through these places where such tragedy had occurred were a distraction. I really got tired of hearing "Stay to the left!" when we were passing through some very sobering displays. It's a huge operation, with thousands of visitors a day, but it didn't seem like people were as serious as one would expect. In any case, it was well worth the visit, although I would have preferred to walk around on my own, and I was pleased to see that so very many people do go there to witness what happened during World War II.
