Poland

Last weekend I was in Krakow, Poland. The reason I was there was as a part of my Jewish history class, to visit Auschwitz. I will not be posting pictures of Auschwitz on this blog, I don't feel like they'd do it justice. However, if you want to see, ask me to email them to you or I'll show you in person. 

Being at Auschwitz really made me realize how hypocritical and shallow humans can be. And also racist. The hypocrisy is that after the Holocaust, the World's eyes were "opened", but to be honest, it seems that nowadays people shut their eyes even tighter than ever. Some consider Facebook (any social media) more important or newsworthy than the events happening right now in Ukraine, Central African Republic, Mali, Nigeria, Thailand... The list is infinite. And largely, the Central African Republic conflict is a genocide- yet the world ignores it, save for the French, who are only interested, it would seem, for reasons generating from the post-imperialist mindset. Or pose yourself this question? Why aren't the glorious bastions of democracy in the EU and NATO doing anything about the situation in Nigeria? Is it because it is an "African" problem, part of the post-colonialist fallout, a fallout nonetheless generated by these states who drone on about personal freedoms, socialist economies, and the definition of friendship? Think, please, and inform yourself on the happenings of the world. It's not cute puppy videos, I warn you, but if you are informed, you can make choices, even small ones, that might change things in this backwards and messed up world. 

Enough on the soapbox, time for pictures.
