There’s no easy way to write about this experience. It overwhelms. It is beyond comprehension. The quiet, now, at these camps, muffles the howling. The howling of the universe, of mankind, in reaction to this now sacred ground and its never to be forgotten past. We walked in silence; speaking seemed trifling; meaningless. We arrived early, before the buses and the crowds and had these camps and their dead to ourselves. Life changed, today.
