Your picture is one of the classic pictures of the site but for me the most moving were the plaques all over the place: &quot;Here, a place of torture. A group of men was massacred and burnt by the Nazis. Think.&quot;<br /><br />They make considerable effort to maintain the place just as it was left. They keep the ruins from deteriorating any further.Sheila @ A Postcard a Dayhttp://apostcardaday.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191197192069407851.post-27026433404938312922009-11-04T18:43:28.144Z2009-11-04T18:43:28.144Zbeautiful picture, but very disturbing story behind it!pamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11549579351659690784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191197192069407851.post-27962419651388163082009-11-04T15:37:48.643Z2009-11-04T15:37:48.643ZThat is a very beautiful image, with modern ruins - I was definitely intrigued to come and see the &quot;abandoned town.&quot; But the story behind it is really horrible and tragic. It is good that they chose to let the town remain as a memorial.catsynthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07281024886169217711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191197192069407851.post-13661246045449296592009-11-04T14:23:18.231Z2009-11-04T14:23:18.231ZThere is a tragic beauty to the scene.blueviolethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13960276167677132860noreply@blogger.com
