Concentration Camp in Slovenia. This was the first concentration camp I have ever visited. I tell the story in the videos.

Concentration Camp
The name of the camp I can't pronounce

Steeple
Over the site where the camp was, this small, white church steeple stands out again the dark trees.

Site
You can see the level land and foundations.

stairways
we normally give little thought to stairs, but when the cement structures are all that's left in a place like this, it's a bit eerie.

Foundations
the cement foundations lay scattered with little waist high plaques saying what building it was in 4 languages.

Plaques
....

and it was quiet
the air is still when you walk into an area like this. The grate was added later for safety, but this hole in the earth is where the dead were crudely cremated.

Monument
This monument lies across the street. It surrounds a strange statue and tells some of the history of the camp.

with arms outstretched
This strange statue seems to be celebrating freedom.
