    The memorial below is in the former site of Bergen-Belzen Concentration camp. The epitaph by the family translates as:

    "No longer here, yet still present"

    Regards,

    Marco

    I hope new generations will always remember these events and will try not to permit to start a new war...everything that has happened was awful and it a great thing that people still now remember those days

    I went to Belsen in 92 and its a most sobering moment to see the the mounds of earth with a simple inscription, here lies 4500, here lies 2500, here lies 5000. I think everyone should visit a place like this at least once in their lives. A friend of mine said you will notice that nothing much grows and you will hear no birds sing and he was quite right I took particular notice. A very sad place indeed.

    There were plenty of birds singing when I went there in May last year, including 3 different Cuckoos trying to out-do each other. Have it on video too.
