As somebody who has been to both Auschwitz and Birkenau multiple times, I can attest to this. I think the hardest part for me was standing in the gas chambers, touching the walls, knowing that thousands and thousands of innocent people stood in that same spot waiting for their extermination, looking around at family members wondering how pure hatred for the way they were born got them to this point.

Furthermore, seeing the large chambers where the bodies were burnt was surreal, sickening, and a huge reminder of the evil that we have lived with in the past, and still live with in this world.

That being said, I do disagree a little bit with what Froghurt said - for me, it was horrifying to walk in and see the piles of shoes, glasses, and human hair. The hair was the worst part - seeing braids still in tact and locks of hair piled so high brought me to tears. The most adorable little children, innocent teenagers, and innocent adults were stripped of all identity, their hair being just the beginning.

I could talk all day about the atrocities that brought me to tears 65 years after they happened. I cannot imagine what the people there went through.

If you are ever in Poland, visiting Auschwitz and Birkenau should be on the top of your priority list - it is eye opening and makes you appreciate how spoiled you actually are, no matter where you come from in life.

Thank you sir, for doing this AMA. I am wondering your opinion on what is happening in Iraq today. There is a lot in the news right now about Al Queda organizations taking over major cities in Iraq again.

Do you think that there was enough done to prepare Iraq for these problems in the long run?

Last question - what's your score prediction for the game tonight? Go Buckeyes!

Hey Tim, huge fan!

My question is, what did it feel like to be the most badass maid of honor of all time?
