I like how Gabriel maintained the solemniy of places which are sensitive.Did not sensationalise it, to some one who has seen it for the first time it was very sensibly shot.I have noticed it quiet often and that’s what I admire about him

Thank you for posting this. I was there in 1993 and have never forgotten it. I found that I had to sit down on a bench after going through each building just to compose myself and process what I was seeing. It was an over-powering experience but I think it's important to expose ourselves to this type of experience while we travel, in addition to the museums and scenery and beaches. All we can do is hope that this never happens again. Thanks again for sharing this.

From your choice of music to the way you set up your shots, you displayed great respect and reverence for this sacred site. Bravo, a true masterpiece.

Thank you for sharing this. My grandfather was in Auschwitz and his entire family was murdered there. I’m glad people recognize the importance of preserving these places for education and remembrance.

So moving, and so tastefully done. The pictures and signs said more than words ever could.

Although I felt a deep sense of sadness as I watched this, thank you Gabriel for taking us virtually to this important place which has a horrible history that should never be forgotten.

My uncle Peter Kisiel was taken there as a child with his family. Only Peter survived and was taken to a farm as a young boy. Thank you for sharing.

Gabriel, the buildings at the beginning where you saw the deer were the potato and vegetable store warehouses. Known as the Kartoffel Lagerhalle. It was for the local farmers distribution.
These are the building where potatoes were stored for prisoners and other vegetables were kept cool after harvesting from local farms to be transported all over the Reich.

It's sickening what happened to those people. Thank you for what you're doing Gabriel!

[williehannon]

No words can describe how horrific the acts carried out here were. Your silence is powerful and respectful Gabriel. A deeply moving video.

We visited this whole area over 2 days, last fall. I was absolutely fascinated at the size of everything. 2 days was not enough. We found old bunkers and ruins near the old Monowitz area. We went into Birkeneau twice, and the main camp once. We spent some time back by 4 and 5 with no one around. It was peaceful and quiet. Lot's to reflect on.

Heartbreaking! Thank you for sharing Gabriel. I really admire your total silence while recording this video. Peace 💐

Thank you for filming...so very sad 😞 .. very haunting... the saddest there must be. Incredible

I went to Auschwitz in August last year (2021) - the skys were crying, it rained for days...there were not many people in the Memorial...as i walked through the Streets, silent not saying a word, i could feel the energy of history. Millions of souls of innocent, murdered people - still pulsing from the walls of the buildings, from the streets, the ground. We walked through the streets for 2 hours, saying nothing - and for the entire time i had "einen Klos im Hals" as we say in germany (weary/close to breaking into tears) .. this was or is one of the - maybe the - most intense experience i have ever had in my life. We, humanity, must do everything in our power, that this or something like this NEVER happens again...

That area of ruined buildings at the start where you saw the deer was most definitely related to the prison camps - that was the ‘Kartoffel Lagerhalle’ (potato warehouse) complex. Apparently prisoners constructed it and did the harvesting work (I didn't know this myself but did a bit of online detective work, as I was curious).

[henryi]

Somber and surreal, yet necessary to watch so as to never forget. Thank you Gabriel.

[maryrosed]

Very sad. Man's inhumanity to man. Must never be forgotten.

[SkySpiral]

It's so chilling to see the real thing, just as it's been replicated in movies. The haunting emptiness of the grounds and prison barracks.

[UWFPensacola]

Was in Warsaw and Krakow in 2019 but avoided going to Auschwitz. I don't think I can handle this place. Such a tragic history.

[Jose-htlw]

If i ever get the chance to go to poland, ill definitely go there.
