A Trip to Auschwitz: A Powerful Lesson for Future Medical Students

Another visit to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum left a lasting impact, filled with emotions, challenging conditions, and this year, an impressive display of physical endurance by the students in the Czech post-secondary preparatory programme for medical faculties. Once again, the participants were guided through the seven-hour tour by an experienced guide, who tailored his commentary to suit the specific needs of future doctors.

The excursion took place in difficult weather conditions - persistent freezing rain, ice, sub-zero temperatures, and wind - which made it especially challenging to navigate the camps, particularly Birkenau. The slippery terrain added a somber layer to the experience, highlighting the suffering endured by the prisoners. The students not only showed physical endurance but also demonstrated a deep interest in the historical context and a strong appreciation for the ethical dilemmas tied to the site.
