Wirral school pupils visit Auschwitz concentration camp
And then we were whisked to Auschwitz One, a former Polish army barracks transformed into a concentration camp in 1940.
Most sobering were the piles of children’s shoes, a room full of human hair – shorn from the murdered – and suitcases, each marked with a name and date of birth.
Only a couple of miles down the road, is Auschwitz Two, or Birkenau, where the Nazis turned death into an industrial project.
Neston High student Sam Musgrave, 17 said: “It had such a huge impact on people’s lives.
“I didn’t realise how big it really was.”
