Auschwitz: The Hair
Manage episode 300868762 series 2974660
Among all the crushing images I saw at the Auschwitz-Birdenau Memorial and Museum, it was the hair that had the most immediate and lasting effect. Actual hair sheared from the heads of every man, woman, and child prisoner; disinfected; wound in balls; and placed in net bags. I saw a roomful of this hair, discolored by the years, but unmistakably human brown, gray and white hair.
My recording, I admit, was very emotional, but important for me to record.
Compassion for those who lost their lives built up in side of me...but, I couldn't do anything .... can't do anything to relieve their suffering.
However, I can release this podcast so that, hopefully, you will hear and feel my emotions.
