History of the Soviet Union under Lenin and StalinDostoevsky predicted the coming totalitarian misery in "Evil Spirits" and "The Brothers Karamazov."
Is literature powerless in the face of overwhelming power? Is thought meaningless in front of a gun?
I still have to learn the history of the Soviet Union as well. I felt that I could not pass this place by. That is why I also tried to learn about the world after Dostoevsky's death.
Poland (ed.)Auschwitz was too intense an experience...
I didn't feel like doing anything for a while.
No, perhaps it is more correct to say that nothing was done.
However, there was something that suddenly crossed my mind that seemed to have emptied out.
"If you have a good karma, you should behave in any way you choose.
Yes. It was the words of "Tannisho," which I have previously introduced in an article on Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Jerusalem.
Poland (ed.)I wonder what I would feel if I actually went to Auschwitz.
I used to think about such things before my trip.
So what did I actually feel when I got here?
It was the fear of "feeling nothing". Auschwitz was a "normal place". But it was that very thing that gave me the shivers.
Poland (ed.)How the Nazis treated the Jews is a major theme in museum exhibits.
The Holocaust was a very specific manifestation of human nature."
This is what our guide said at "Yad Vashem" in Jerusalem.
That is why what we have learned here in Auschwitz should not end with the words "something tragic happened here.
Poland (ed.)April 14, 2019.
I headed to Auschwitz, Poland's largest destination.
Fortunately, the weather was fine in the morning, and the freezing cold of the previous day seemed to have eased a bit.
It takes about 1.5 hours by bus from the bus terminal in Krakow.
The bus will drop off in front of the Auschwitz Museum.
In this article I will tell you about my experiences in Auschwitz.
Israel ed.While touring Yad Vashem, I suddenly heard a familiar voice. As I approached the voice, I was surprised to see a group of Japanese people!
I did not expect to meet Japanese people here. I was told that they were a group of Christians from Japan, and thankfully, I was able to join them.
Israel ed.From the Old City of Jerusalem, we will take a streetcar to the outskirts of the city. We will visit Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Memorial Museum. Actually, I had not planned to visit Yad Vashem before coming to Jerusalem.
However, as I saw various things here in Jerusalem, I began to feel strongly that I should still visit.
Furthermore, my next destination in Israel is Krakow, Poland. Yes, I am going to see Auschwitz after this. In this article I will tell you about my experience at Yad Vashem.
