Sunday (as mentioned before) was spent at Auschwitz and Wadowice (the birthplace of JPII)

| Entrance into Auschwitz I ("Work makes one free") |
 |
| Inside Auschwitz I. This was a former Polish Army barracks, before the Nazis took it over. |
 |
| Entry to the execution area. Many prisoners were shot in that courtyard. The adjacent building was used mostly for torture. St. Maximillian Kolbe died there. |
 |
| Shoes found after liberation. The amount of belongings left was staggering. |
 |
| Outside the gas chamber and crematorium. |
 |
| Birkenau |
 |
| Birkenau - many of the wooden stables were burnt at the end of the war. |

| "The Pope's Cake" a delightful pastry, famous in this area because JPII enjoyed it! |
