Shoah: The New Permanent Exhibition in Block 27 at the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum
Open your heart, visitor. And your mind. And your soul. As you walk through the exhibition "SHOAH" and are enveloped by the sights and sounds of the past, hear the voices of the victims, see the drawings of the children, touch the names of the murdered. Be this place's messenger. Take with you a message that only the dead can still give the living: that of remembrance. -Elie Wiesel, taken from Yad Vashem website
