Terezin Concentration Camp

What an experience today was, you couldn't even imagine the feelings that goes through one's mind on a tour like this. You feel shocked, speechless and a sense of emptiness in your heart. How could one man do this to an entire race. Why the Jews? What made them so different from the Nazi's beside their culture and way of living? They are still human beings that have ever right to live just like the Nazi's did. Its not fair that one man can say you live and you die. Innocent children who only saw dreams and hopes were stolen away from them just because of their race. They were meant to grow up to become teachers, lawyers, doctors, farmers, any profession their hearts were set on but yet they spent more time on wondering when their last hours or minutes were numbered before it was their time to be sent away to Auschwitz. At Terezin there were only 300 prisoners that were executed some of them being Jews and the rest passed away from malnutrition, poor hygiene and diseases that resulted from overpopulation within the cells. There was one group cell that was meant for 100 prisoners but by the end of the war it was housing between 400-600 prisoners. Another cell that was meant for one person for bad behavior was filled with 20-30 prisoners, towards the end of the war they removed the doors to house more prisoners within their cells. Can you imagine being taken away from your family and having to live with 20-30 people some of them living and some of them that had passed? That your weren't given enough food to survive properly so you lost 1/2 your body weight within days?
  We are so thankful that we don't live in war but our thoughts and blessings go out to those who are fighting in war or have been in war. Its not easy and we can't even explain the feelings one person or family may face but our hearts go out to you.
