Josieann - when I visited Auschwitz/Birkenau, although you cannot fail to be moved by the entire experience, one of the things which really seemed to bring it home to the school pupils I accompanied was towards the end of our visit, and it was the display of family photos which were found in the possessions of those who died there. The young people all remarked how it helped to see them - not in the familiar camp photos as prisoners with striped pyjamas and shaven heads - but as 'ordinary' people in family snapshots. It was food for thought indeed.
