I don't know any survivors personally, but I did visit Auschwitz in 1999 and must say it the saddest place I have ever been to. The negative energy there is pretty much not describable with words, you just have to go visit to experience it for yourself.
It was a weird day for me to say the least, I was in Poland for my job at the time and found some time to jump on a bus to the countryside to see the world most notorious death camp. And of course, the place itself was terribly awful but at the same time very interesting from a historical perspective. Seeing those ig rooms filed with murdered children?s shoes stacked to the ceiling is an image I will never forget.
The wackiest part of the day was the Polish bus driver blasted the Beastie Boys the whole way back to Krakow, not exactly the kind of thing you want to hear after visiting such a place. He was rocking out to ?Sabotage? driving down the road back from Auschwitz, what a freaking idiot.
But I do recommend if anyone is ever in Poland going and checking it out.
