Poles ask the world for funds to stop Auschwitz falling into ruin

[Phil Davies (FGM)]

There are plenty of Holocaust museums around so why don't they just bulldoze Auschwitz and build some kind of amusement park on the site, and NO I'm not being disrespectful, it's just that that wretched patch of ground has seen enough misery in its time so what could be better than to turn it into a place of happiness full of the laughter of children to wash away the bad vibes of the past?

I am sorry but have you been to Auschwitz ? I was there last easter and I can tell you it's an incrediable place, it should never ever be allowed to fall into disrepair. I walked through a gas chamber in which 100,000's of people were killed and then through into the crem where they were disposed of and the feeling you get inside is just overwhelming. Everybody should make a point of going to this place sometime in their lifetime. I also saw the factory of Oscar Shindler, I wasn't able to get inside as it was being renovated, but we did walk around the old Jewish getto quarter it was a very moving experiance. The Poles also do not charge for entry into Auschwitz which did surprise me but I see that as a good thing, this is why they need ALL our support.
