My wife and I recently travelled to Poland. The reason for that trip was I have wanted to photograph Auschwitz and Birkenau concentration camps for a very long time.
After much deliberation and planning we flew out in the latter part of October, I also decided some time ago that if and when we went I wanted to Vlog the visit, that as I feel that these locations overtime are being or will be forgotten for what they were, that being places of sheer terror.
I was originally going to do the video as one complete video, but after editing the vlogging section decided that it should be done as two separate entities as the first video was 30 minutes long, those being the Vlog and then a video of most of the photographs.
It has to have been one of the most difficult, hard videos that I have put together in the five or six years that I have been vlogging. It was hard enough walking around the grounds as every time I took a step I was thinking of those poor souls that took the very same steps, but never left in the way that I did.
Sadly, both videos have not been viewed as much as I had hoped probably because of what they are? I don’t know if it is because people would rather forget, which was the whole purpose of this video i.e. to ensure they are not forgotten, the people, the souls, the crimes committed within those grounds.
I therefore don’t know if what I did was counterproductive? I guess that is something the viewers of those videos can only decide!
Below, I will paste the links to those videos and I would be grateful if you could watch and comment on the videos on the YouTube platform.
Thank you for reading this post.
