The Experience

We were already halfway to Oświęcim before I realized how quiet our van had gotten. Our driver, Marek, just nodded when I tried to make small talk about the weather — it was grey, but somehow that felt right. The road out of Wrocław is long enough for nerves to settle in. At some point, someone in our group started reading about the camp’s history out loud, then stopped. It’s hard to know what to say when you’re heading toward Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Our guide met us by the entrance, speaking softly in Polish-accented English. She pointed out details I’d never have noticed — like the way the gravel crunches under your shoes walking between barracks, or how the air seems heavier near the old crematorium. There’s this smell — not strong exactly, but old wood and damp stone — that sticks with you longer than you expect. We moved slowly through each exhibit; nobody rushed us. At one point, I tried to ask something about daily life here, but my voice sounded too loud in that space. She answered anyway, gently.

I didn’t expect the small garden outside the Auschwitz Jewish Center — just a patch of green and silence after so much heaviness inside. A couple from Kraków lit a candle there while we stood awkwardly nearby. On the drive back to Wrocław, I kept thinking about their faces more than anything else we saw that day. It’s not a tour you take for photos or stories at dinner parties — but I’m glad we went together.
