A Dreary Theme for a Dreary Day

Dana and I were up early to catch our tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Judy and I went previously and the subject matter was a little rough for Liz so I accompanied Dana while the girls went off on their own. No matter your views on this memorial to the worst in mankind it is something that should be seen. It doesn’t get any easier the second time. Enough said.

On a slightly more cheery note the girls visited Oscar Schindler’s Factory which is now a first class museum. It’s more focussed on life in Kraków in the first half of the 20th century than it is on Oscar Schindler.

Meeting up with the girls for a late lunch at the Bier Hall Dana and I tried to wash some of the taste from our mouths. After a bit of a rest we went in search of a dessert shop Judy had found for some of the creamiest ice cream anywhere. Then back to the comforts of our hotel’s library lounge for a nightcap.
