    The Tower of the Old Town Hall in Main Market Square: by james_tesol_teacher, Views[250]

         		 The view from inside a cremation chamber; it was small and suffocating. I found the only way to not break down with emotion was to look out this tiny window.: by afn, Views[988]
         		 Auschwitz II – Birkenau; known as the ‘Final Solution of the Jewish Question in Europe’. These wooden barns were used to house prisoners before being taken to their fate. They were overcrowded and provided little shelter from the elements.: by afn, Views[1132]

         		 Former Jewish Ghetto – Warsaw, Poland. (Human) Life took up its course again in Warsaw’s former Jewish ghetto. Very few buildings dating back to the prewar period are still standing in the former ghetto. Even less are inhabited. : by a_m, Views[1257]
         		 Majdanek – Lublin, Poland. (Vegetal) Life took up its course again in the concentration camp of Majdanek in Eastern Poland. : by a_m, Views[960]
         		 Auschwitz-Birkenau Camp I, Oświęcim, Poland. By some fate of the calendar, I visited Auschwitz on a grey rainy day – as if the place was not depressing and emotional enough… : by a_m, Views[1100]
         		 Auschwitz-Birkenau Camp II, Oświęcim, Poland. How do we represent death and absence? Is it even possible? Should we try or resign ourselves to our inability to photograph what is no longer here? Visiting the camps in Poland stirred up contradictory feelings in me. The fact that none of my family had perished in the camps made me feel like an intruder there, on the other hand though, I also felt a duty to bear witness. My position behind the barbed wire represents my attempt at bearing witness to the Holocaust while acknowledging my position as an outsider. It is not easy to document the lives of people; it is even harder to document their absence. This is a (hi)story of absence that I tried to tell through this series. : by a_m, Views[920]

    Gods mansion. Westminster Abbey, it costs lots of £ to go in for a look-see, unless you come when they're holding a service. Hang around, sing a few hymns, haf a cup of wine and some crackers, then you're free to explore. I didn't.: by wilski, Views[349]
