RE: Auschwitz - Putting a Face to the Name
How did you connect with a whole group of steemians all going to the same place?
I can't say I did connect with everyone in the 100 or more large group. We were split into 4 or 5 septate groups of around 20 but I was deeply inside my mind the whole time. But we kept walking past the other groups and I saw that everyone was acting in accordance with the tour rules. Lots of pictures being taken, some were chatting but everyone was respectful and none of that 'selfie cheesy grin' Instagram style shenanigans.
I felt the same way at Dachau. It wasn't a negative experience. I came away slightly different than I arrived.
Sure, I get that. It changes your outlook somewhat. Awakens you to the importance of embracing compassion as an active mode of behaviour.

I didn't mean connect on a personal level... I meant how did you find that large of a group of steemians to go do something with in the first place? So far, I've not met a single steemian in person, other than the one who turned me on to steemit in the first place.
Hi @mattifer
I was just re-reading some old posts and I saw I hadn't answered your question .... So long ago now.
This trip to auschwitz was one of the excursions at steemfest 3 in Krakow, which I was very lucky to attend 🙂
