Auschwitz: The Hair
In the KNOW!
Among all the crushing images I saw at the Auschwitz-Birdenau Memorial and Museum, it was the hair that had the most immediate and lasting effect. Actual hair sheared from the heads of every man, woman, and child prisoner; disinfected; wound in balls; and placed in net bags. I saw a roomful of this hair, discolored by the years, but unmistakably human brown, gray and white hair.

Toothpaste: not just for those pearly whites!
In the KNOW!
I have found that I cannot count on apartments or hotels to have the cleaning products I need when I need them. And, often, I need products immediately. I choose not to buy products because the bottles contain much more product than I need and I refuse carry more than I need in my luggage.

However, I can release this podcast so that, hopefully, you will hear and feel my emotions.
