Good article and probably not uncommon, good luck Andros.

I love Spurs, football and some footballers, but I was at Auschwitz - Birkenau yesterday. If anyone ever wants to know about incomprehensible, de-humanised, barbaric suffering. Go and visit. It has no direct relation to football, it's a moment in history, a memorial site and a brutal lesson, but there are so many human stories associated with the atrocities it helps keep perspective sometimes.

Love that guy. Can't help but think there are so many stories like this out there, and that's just among the boys who made it.

My wife and I visited the concentration camp at Dachau a couple of years back. We both bawled our eyes out.

For the world to be a better place, I believe everyone should visit those camps.
How dark must a heart be for one human to do that to another / others?

History should not repeat itself but some of the signs are already there.

Absolutely, but clearly as human beings we've learnt nothing, Cambodia, Rwanda, Balkans as recently as the 90's. it's an utter disgrace that the world often stands by and does nothing.

The school Mrs D used to teach out sent 6th form pupils there, it was very emotional and too many people need to be reminded of what can happen when you blame other races, religions or nationalities for all your problems. The most chilling places I visited were in Vienna, the balcony where Hitler made his speeches and Leopoldstad where the SS rounded up the jewish residents. Nobody should need to be reminded, but sadly they do.
