Auschwitz museum begins emotional work of conserving 8,000 shoes of murdered children

  1. Museum workers describe the children’s shoes as one of the most emotional testaments of the crimes carried out at Auschwitz.

  2. I’ve been to the site a few times. The shoes are often the most impactful thing for people. There is something deeply personal/human about them.

    And many people view this as a long ago thing or the general idea- but children’s shoes- or any shoes- show how recent and real it truly is.

  3. Don’t know how people had the heart to do such a heinous act. Like imagine killing or help killing 8000 kids and then thinking how somehow your country isn’t utterly evil
