I think it is really important – beside knowing the general facts and numbers of the holocaust – to try to give the victims their personalities somehow back by remembering them in their very own, personal way of life before the murdering was due to begin. For me as a german it was one of the most intrinsic and moving experience of my life being at Auschwitz, seeing these numerous collected glasses, imagining that behind every single pair of glasses there has been a pair of living eyes, now vanished for ever, for no reason at all. A deeply horrifying but nessecary experience.
