That still lokks horrific 70 years on
The fog shrouding the buildings adds to the sense of dread
How do you feel about the debate raging around the upkeep of the buildings?
Some say: because of the repairs and refurbishment it's not the same place it was, but more of a tourist attraction, and no longer authentic
Supporters say: It's important to keep it open as a reminder of the horrors - and a warning to new generations
From your account, the horror has impacted you and made the efforts to keep it open a fitting tribute to all who suffered so much and perished there
I don't know much of the debate but if it isn't maintained, it is eventually lost and lost means unremembered. I believe we have to move on from living in the past but part of that is knowing the past itself, and if people really understood the horrors of what humans have done to humans, they would adjust their behaviors now so the future would have little chance of ever seeing such atrocity again.
