The hint of encouragement gestured me to go on. In that moment, the true meaning of homage dawned on me and I felt a deep sense of respect for the Jewish visitors who were there paying homage to their ancestors. The do let me know how do you like this episode? If you do, please leave a reply. It'll encourage me to share more such episodes with you. So long. Till the next one. Cheers

And it's almost surreal because the protocols of a regular museum sometimes don't apply to a place that just drops us to our knees in sadness. And in sort of this sense of, how could something like this have happened? And I'm sure you were processing so much as you were going through, as were the other people. And the deference to allowing you to be in your space as long as you needed to is beautiful that you noticed that

Yeah. Deborah actually, my visit to Auschwitz was in the first half of the day, and I returned to Krakow around three in the afternoon. But the rest of the day was very somber, very pensive. I was kind of lost in thought, and I was still thinking about all that I had experienced and seen there. It was one sad chapter of history that I had experienced

Incidentally, they were not taught World War II. And even if it is taught, it is very superficial, right? Nobody gets into that gory details. Of course, you don't want your children to have that kind of frightening impression on their minds, so that's understandable. But this entire episode will always remain to be the blackest, the darkest blot in human history. And it's extremely unfortunate that it happened. And the worst part is that nobody did anything about it

Himanshi, you're so right. This was the worst incident of human barbarism against other humans. And definitely the experience leaves you saddened. It moves you. It actually emotionally drains you. But all the same, people, even today, despite all the circumstances and all the history, choose to be kind. And that is why this particular incident, I say, taught me the true meaning of homage. Thanks for visiting. Thanks for listening to it. Thanks for leaving your reply. Do stay tuned

Hey Ramya, thanks for leaving your reply. You're right, actually. My travelure series is about those little moments which as human beings, we sometimes tend to just ignore or miss. But these are the moments which leave a deep impact and they contribute to your learning, which actually, when they say that if you haven't traveled, you only read one page of the book, I believe that these are the moments which actually take you into the book and through the book
