The grandkids, Bob, and I, went to Kansas City Friday to see "Auschwitz - Not long ago. Not far away." at Union Station. Firstly, downtown is totally under construction and our GPS kept taking us to the Gallery Cafe. We finally put in the World War 1 Museum, which is really close, and we found it. Their parking garage is very convenient, large and close to the Station. But, be warned, the crowds were large and there's only a few benches to sit on. We've since found out it's better to go on a Sunday or Monday when the crowds aren't so large, if you can get those tickets.

They give you headphones that plug into a video device so that you can go at your own pace. You are given 120 minutes to view the exhibit, but no one kicked us out for going over the alloted time. Everyone was quiet and respectful. It was definately worth the road trip!

Wheels from the train cars that carried prisoners to Auschwitz. Although the Germans denied their intentions, it is obvious the whole operation was well thought out and deliberate.
