Viewer Discretion Is Advised: Some of the MOST Emotional Photos I have ever taken, from Auschwitz

Before we made the trip to Germany for Photokina we made a stop in Poland. The trip to Poland for me was experience the Ghettoes of Warsaw and visit Auschwitz. These are not happy places to go but they are places I felt I must experience.
I must take the good with bad and attempt to feel as much as I could possibly feel when visiting these places.

I did take the Nikon D810 with me knowing I wanted to capture a few images. I wanted to tell a story as I tend to do but I wasn't sure what I would find or how I would feel about what I am capturing.

There are a few images that I thought told a story. The look down the tracks to the main gate, the close up of the train stair and the train itself.

The train is haunting, I found myself staring at it and I started to get emotional. I started to feel the walls closing in on me and I started to tear up. My mind shifted to the people inside. The pain and suffering they must have been facing on their trip to the unknown.

Look at that image, stair at it, don't take your eyes off of it until you feel something.
