Hi Bodgan,

Your testimony as a camp visitor really left me without words! It's still
smell burning flesh after all these times ? I do not dare to imagine what
it was at that time!...
The holocaust is my specialty as a historian of the Second World war; even
if almost all on the period interest me.
I'm planning to go at Auschwitz this fall (live in Canada, city of
Montréal).

Wish you best, Regards,

Kareen Healey
