Auschwitz / Birkenau

The team visited Auschwitz-Birkenau towards the beginning fo the expedition. Over the course of the day, the participants viewed both Auschwitz I, the work camp, and Auschwitz II/Birkenau, the death camp. Although processed at the beginning of the trip, the emotion felt and the pictures ingrained in everyone's minds resonated throughout the rest of the project. Within Auschwitz, the team viewed the consequences of genocide and man's inhumanity towards man. Below are a selection of photographs taken on the day the team visited.
