Surrounded by hundreds of buildings, and thousands of windows, I could imagine that for many people this monstrosity has become normal. I've seen contrasts before, but this tested the limits of my imagination. \rThe camp was used for forced labor and to liquidate jew's from the Lublin region and beyond. \rThe first building we entered was a gas chamber where prisoners were actually given showers before their extermination. The building was marked \"disinfection\". The prisoners would have a shower to \"settle down\" and the warmth would help activate the lethal elements of Zyklon B.. This theory is a little strange when you consider that the chamber was fit with a high power furnace used to activate the gas - and that the furnace itself was enough to kill the people. I couldn't stand visiting the gas chamber, the walls were still stained blue from the toxic gas, and I don't really know how to express the feeling aside from this thought, I witnessed evidence that real monsters exist or that maybe humans are monsters. \n
