half term involved a week being spent in poland, and until last night after watching the boy in stripe pjama's, i didn't realise how much the trip moved me.
on our first full day in poland, we took a trip to auschwitz. i'm finding it really difficult to describe how it was there, but it was incredibly moving. what did it for me, that brought it really into reality, was the piles of shoes, clothes, suitcases, hair and toothbrushes, etc, that had been taken from the prisoners upon their arrival. horrible :(
on a happy note, the cold weather meant that my 'poland hat' barely left my head. i became quite attached to the big piece of fluff.
