Please, please visit Helen’s Blog today if you get a chance. She’s a brilliant young writer and holds my attention – right to the end of her posts. I think that’s saying a LOT for someone who is 14 years old!
If you click on www.Flickr.com (above the photo gallery) on the sidebar of her blog, you will find her photo album.
Helen photographed the remains of an Auschwitz concentration camp and they are photos I never expected or wanted to see – but they are riveting, they’re cold, they’re hurtful, they make me want to cry.
I hate that a 14 year old girl saw those atrocities but on the other hand I feel everyone should have to see them – even if only through these photos.
See her October archives for more on her trip.
Let me know what you think….and let Helen know too.
Awww thanks! I wrote about going to Auschwitz in the October archive of my blog. Thanks again. Helen x
ReplyThanks for the link. You are right what an amazing kid. Hard to believe that she is only 14.
ReplyEveryone should have to see these things so that they can know in their gut how hard we have to fight their occurrence. I visited Dachau many years ago and it was hard but meaningful.
ReplySo much more powerful than pictures one may see in a book.
Replywow is an understatement. thanks for focusing her blog.
