Auschwitz set to reopen after deadly floods sweep Eastern Europe
The floods have caused the deaths of seven people, the evacuation of thousands from their homes and the disruption of power supplies across Eastern Europe.

The former Nazi death camp of Auschwitz, with its museum exhibits, was expected to reopen on Thursday after being threatened by flooding following days of heavy rain that have brought devastation to southern Poland.

The floods have caused the deaths of seven people, the evacuation of thousands from their homes and the disruption of power supplies across southern Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary since the weekend.

Auschwitz, where some 1.5 million people, mostly Jews, perished at Nazi German hands during World War Two, is located in one of the region's worst affected by the floods and is near the Vistula river, which has burst its banks in many places.

I had the chance to visit Poland about 10 years ago and went to Auschwitz and it was a very unsettling and humbling experience.

I don't know that I could even stand seeing it. The images that you see on the internet is enough to make me cry my eyes out. Never will I understand how people can be so evil.

Well, this is a sick world, and with some current politicians on the political stage it isn't hard for me to see this type evil occurring again.

me ether. A couple of months ago I went on the net and look at the pictures of the holocust, and I cried for days over it, I willl never understand how anyone can do what people do to another soul. I just don't understand it. It is so heartsickining.

and what I really don't understan is one how can anyone say this never happened, and two people believe that. With out researching it. How can ANYONE believe this never happen.

I guess I must have needed to cry, cause like a dummy, I went and looked at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum website and it literally made me sick. I was eating lunch and threw it out. There has to be an extremely hot place in hell for Hitler and all of them that did this to the Jewish people. This may not be very Christian, but I'm going to enjoy seeing what the Lord says to Hitler when the time comes. And you know, killing 6 million Jews isn't even what sent Hitler to hell. The fact that he never accepted Jesus is what sent him to hell. Jesus would have willingly forgiven him for taking the lives of 6 million Jews, if only Hitler had bowed his knee to Jesus. I was watching a prophecy teaching on the internet earlier this week and the guy that was speaking talked about the Jews at Auschwitz-Birkenau and Josef Mengele... the doctor that did all of the experiments on the Jews, especially Jewish children. He had a real taste for sets of twin children that were brought in and the things he did to them.... well just let me say as a twin myself AND a mother to a set of twins, I'm grateful to the Lord for the grace that I live under. It really brought the Holocaust home to my heart.

Robert, I understand what you're saying and you're right. But it's just such a humbling experience to see what the Jews went through.

I saw the same thing I just don't understand hpw anyone could hurt anyone else, but how could you sit there and torture children or watch and do nothing. I sit their and think they died alone and scared and in severe agony. and they allowed it. Why! This is one reason alone that JESUS needs to set up his kingdom because of thing's like this, and abortion. So it will stop. and a precious, merciful KING can rule forever! AMEN!

The memorial website is humbling. One of the most powerful images I saw was an exhibit of the shoes of those who were murdered. Literally thousands and thousands of shoes left behind........
