Travellers tales...
Wonderful blogs as ever! Just back from Hungarian hols with Ellen and baby Dotty, sun-filled and relaxing. I visited Poland 2 years ago. Also went to Krakow, thence to the salt mines at Wielicska, pron. Vee-el-ich-ka! From there, like you, to Auschwitz, whose actual Polish name is Oswiecim, I didn't at first realise that they were one and the same, as my Polish friend naturally referred to the place by the second name. Your comments echo mine, I found the visit devastatingly moving, one I can never forget. More poignant as Andrew's father's first wife, being Jewish, was taken from their home town of Tolna, in Hungary, by the Nazis and sent to Auschwitz with her young daughter. I felt their presence in those buildings. No doubt you read that the majority of Jewish people murdered were in fact Hungarians... Strange to return to Birkenau and see all those tourist buses, maybe their memories are indelible too. Hope to catch up some time soon, love from Esther x
