As one would expect a lot of the information and displays were pretty touching. I found the ones with the biggest impact were some of the collections of confiscated items that were found after the camps were liberated.
The Birkenau camp was much larger but more just open air without all the museum aspects. It did give a good idea of the size of the camp though, and you could go into the buildings to see the conditions people had to live in.

I'm glad you went to Auschwitz; no doubt depressing but as you say, such a notorious part of history.
Love the street art and the so called street "statue" performers! You'll have to put a book together of the various "arts" after your travels - you could sell it as a online "must do's" in the places you've visited!
I'll have to hear from you after you return on the size and scope of Auschwitz as I am sure the pictures don't do it justice!
Keep enjoying your travels.
