Departs March 26 1991 22 6CT 12 know that what is happening today in Eastern Europe and in the Soviet Union is in reality the true ending of World War II As the reunification of Germany comes closer and closer there are rumblings from all over Europe by those old enough or educated enough to remember those terrible 12 years when Hitler ruled the continent They ask the obvious and perhaps unfair question: Can the Germans ever be a civilized people or will they once reunified and given a chance try to create a new reich and repeat the horrors that created the death camps? The West Germans have made no secret of their Nazi past Dachau today is a museum that pulls no punches and it is not uncommon to see a German high school teacher taking a class around showing students the sins of their nation’s past half-millio- London to Amsterdamon- 1 t Warsaw non-Jewi- sh SALE From $3240 Si-- cn 21 BATS STATES TOUR S08TNERA ar Amazon I YELLOWSTONE AND BLACK HILLS PASSION PLAY non-Jewi- sh $1600 Savings $1200 FALL F0LIA6E SIFT 17 30 Oct 8285 REV ESCLAIO CARADA als mentally retarded — anybody in all over Europe who was deemed dangerous or unacceptable to the Third Reich For the bulk of the world the true pervictims centages of Jewish and are of little importance Since 1945 Auschwitz has been just a name a reminder that long ago in some place far away in Eastern Europe the Nazis killed millions of Jews and other people during the madness of the Second World War It is not something that most people thought about a lot and if they did it was often just part of the curious fascination post-wAmericans and others seem to have developed about Hitler and the Nazis Besides Auschwitz was in Poland and that used to be a long way behind the Iron Curtain where Americans were few and far apart But now with the entire political situation in Eastern Europe changed the barriers are down and access to the Auschwitz area is very easy Some say too easy only a train ride or drive away from Budapest or i 1 M75 — Bart 4 fact-fro- OSWIECIM Poland — In an ironic footnote to their ghastly history the Nazi death camps of Auschwitz and Birkenau are becoming popular tourist attractions For example Orbis the official Polish tourist agency will gladly fix you up in Krakow with a death camp tour — driver g sedan comfy Mercedes-Ben- z guide Total cost about $40 for a half-da- y plus a tip And visits to the camps are a feature of many of the spring and summer group tours through Eastern Europe that have sprung up since last winter’s momentous changes Where once there was a trickle of foreign visitors through Auschwitz now there will be a flood of tour buses Auschwitz — - and indeed all the European death camps — raises questions for those of us who are neither Jewish nor Polish nor even for that matter related to anyone who died in a Nazi concentration camp Is it right that we as travelers and tourists and observers be allowed to wander through the remains of a death camp snapping photographs and paying tour guides to show us around? The answer to that is simply yes At Auschwitz which has become synonymous with the Holocaust and also at Dachau a notorious death camp outside Munich the custodians have placed a quote by the philosopher George Santayana on the walls for all visitors to see: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” During the time the village of Oswiecim was occupied by the Nazis (Auschwitz is the German name) several million people were put to death in a dozen camps scattered around the area A few miles away is Birkenau often called Auschwitz II one of the largest death camps in the whole Nazi system For the first time Zyklon B (the prussic acid pesticide picked by the Nazis to gas millions of inmates) was used here on Russian prisoners of war and hospital patients in the basement of one of the camp’s ON 11-- Diacorer the Wet of Paradrae 00 our fatly ocotted tour to Hwnui See four Uank batata Enjoy ctintie U? la flnt el other tom don't include become of Auschwitz Birkenau By ZEKE WIGGLESWORTH Knight Hidder Newspapers BATS— ROCKIES TOUR COLORADO Nazi death camps becoming popular attractions for tourists Disputes arising over what I-8 SAFI HAWAII s595 TARO!
