Majdanek's Bones

Today we visited the Majdanek concentration camp just outside Lublin. The camp was very moving and emotionally disturbing although I thought too much attention is paid to archiving and educating visitors verses focusing on the historical environment and aura of space. I didn't want to see museum displays in the buildings. Those elements distract me from feeling the camp on an emotional and spiritual level. Before entering the crematorium, Tomash our tour guide swept the ground with his feet to unearth these small pieces of bone fragments which can be found in certain places around the concentration camp. That was all I needed to witness. Surprise, the staff bought us tickets to see Matisyahu in Krackow tonight. I'm in utter disbelief :) Happy July 4th and Polish election day.
