Well my trip from Auschwitz is actually taking me to Shanghai, Beijing and Tokyo (yeah I am going the long way around... what can I say, I am a true FT'r).

As for my personal connection. I am in Ministry. It is my belief that in order to experience and appreciate all that is good in this world, we also need to experience all that is evil. Honestly I can think of no more evil place than these concentration camps.

(btw just so you don't think I am morbid, I have been to Israel and next year will go to Macchu Pachu)
