I come here as it is the biggest cemetery in the world. With not even one tombstone in sight - student
I came here to confront it, to experience to feel the emotions. You have to come here .– pupil
They did business here. Every war is business and politics. They used everything, even human hair. I feel very angry when I see that we do not learn from such experiences. - teacher
Why did people from the nearby town allow this to happen? I feel angry. – teacher
What happened to the survival instinct of those people? I came here to understand this. Now I know and I feel shame for thinking this way. – teacher
After seeing all this I think we have to be very careful about what is happening around us. We can not allow something lie this to happen ever again beneath someone’s nose. - pupil
My grandfather survived ths Camp. Before I came here he told me to see what there will be to see and try not to feel a thing. And, did you listen to him? Yes, otherwise I wouldn’t handle it. – pupil
I came here with my pupil as I am a teacher and my job is to educate and warn future generations. I am scared that it will not be enough for the world to remember. - teacher
