Ive already posted about Auschwitz, but I wanted to show this card too, since it comes from my favourites
i dont know why, cards from places like this induce some mixed emotions....maybe due to such deeply-buried mysteriousness is why i find such cards so appealing...i mean, im not a freak or anything who is fascinated by death and concentration camps...I just find such places so surreal and can never really know what actually happened...coz the media and all the other sources will serve you different sides of the story...which one you end up believing in, is totally up to you...
Might be coz of the rails why I also really love this card :)
the stamp was issued in 2009, commemorating the World Postal Day

Auschwitz, Poland
My last card for today comes from one of the most notorious places of the world, if i can refer to it like that.
this is what the back of the card says:
The Gate to Auschwitz II - Birkenau camp was part of the main SS guardhouse. Prisoners reffered to it as the "Gate of Death".
Not so long ago i read a book which sort of dealt with Auschwitz though it was more like a childish book, with some images embedded which really annoyed me and i thought were totally unnecessary but oh well..
And i know what im gonna just say now would seem totally insane or so, and i know its incomparable to the destiny of the people whose final life destination was here, but sometimes i feel that my own life destiny is condemned to revolve around some vicious circles from which i cant get out of....as for my current state of mind, im in a total emotional turmoil...coz of course, the jigsaws had to place themselves in a way thats the least favourable to me...im getting really tired and worn out of it...its frustrating and its sad that i always have to end up in such a situation...worst of all is that i can never actually take control of things, but they just happen, without a warning, without asking, without anything...and by the time i become aware of it, im already inside the maze and let the currents take me as they had decided to do so...and i cant fight against it...or maybe i dont try enough...who knows...maybe its true after all that i have masochistic genes inside me...
both of the stamps here were issued in 2005. They both show Polish cities as well, but they come from different subject issues. The one on the left regards Architecture and shows the city of Sieradz, while the other one is related to history and shows the city of Sopot.
And before i disconnect....thanks for reading, and your patience and your devotion...its highly appreciated!
