The Death Camp, Poland



9.4.2007(Monday) Karkow,Poland
The Death Camp(Auschwitz)









如果說這個旅程有什麼令我感到有必要"到此一遊"才會體會得最深,無疑是奧斯威辛集中營 (Auschwitz) 保守估計,納綷德軍在二次大戰期間在這個三公里的死亡營屠殺了最少三百萬猶太人.




Arbeit macht frei" is a German phrase meaning "work brings freedom" or "work shall set you free/will free you" or "work liberates" and, literally in English, "work makes free".


The slogan, "Arbeit macht frei," was placed at the entrances to a number of Nazi concentration camps, not as a mockery, not even literally – as a false promise that those who worked to exhaustion would eventually be released – but rather "as a kind of mystical declaration that self-sacrifice in the form of endless labour does in itself bring a kind of spiritual freedom."


這裏不是一個旅遊景點,而是一個作為歷史課最好的實際場景展示地. 除參加三個小時的英語導遊團要付約港幣七十元外,集中營是免費入內的.



似乎這裏是很嚴肅的,不過因為我們是香港人,所以我們拍照的時候,笑了.
