AUSCHWITZ, A SHAME NOT FOR THE GERMANS BUT FOR THE ALL HUMANKIND.



Today from Krakow I took a bus and went to Auschwitz, a concentration camp made by the Nazis during the second world war, not for prisoners of war but manly for some people that according to the Nazis ideology they were a dishonor for the Human beings and therefore they had to be killed. As the homeless gipsy, homosexuals, handicapped mind persons and Jews, because they were successful emigrants and homeless for generations in all Europe; they were forced by the Romans to leave their home in Israel about 2000 years ago.

Approximately 7 million people, women, men and children, were killed in different concentrations camps in Poland and in Germany, the most of them were Jews, about 6 Million persons.
In Auschwitz alone around 1 Million people were murdered trough, shooting, starvation and gas. They were told to take off the clothes to take a shower, but once in the shower rooms, from the tap did not run water but gas.
It is one thing to read in books what happened here about 70 years ago and it is another thing to be here, smell the same air as the detained people did when they arrived here by train to be killed.
And why all this? Because the Nazis Ideology wanted it and their helpers hoped benefits and better chanche of lives for themselves?

But the Nazis were not extraterrestrials that did not like some parts of the mankind  and therefore they wanted to extinguish them.
The Nazis belong also to the species of the human beings, and sure, they are not alone to be put into a list of murders of this world.
The communist did the same with the death of millions of innocent Russian people that died in Siberian concentrations camps, the fascist in Italy did the same with thousands of victims, the Japanese murdered 100 thousands of civilians Chinese during their occupation in China, the Chinese suppressed and killed many Tibetan people. This list could be much longer whereat hardly one nation of this world could be left out.
As we still see violence aiming the death of innocent people, as presently often happened with bombing attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan with more than 1 Million civilians casualties and the very recent gas attack in Syria with 1400 death, women, children and men.

I am alone in the lonely one remained gas room in Auschwitz, all the other ones are ruins, they were destroyed by the Nazis before fleeing.
I look at the ceiling and see a gap with a cover; from there the gas was let run into the room killing women, men and children.
The next room is a crematorium, where the fresh dead bodies were burned.
I feel that my eyes are getting wet. I have a German passport in my pocket, but I feel not ashamed to have the German citizenship, too. But, I start feeling ashamed to belong to the species of the human beings.
At this moment, I would feel prouder to be a monkey than a human being.
