Kadish in Majdanek

As is traditional we wanted to say Kadish (Jewish prayer for the departed) here in Majdanek. Interestingly Kadish does not mention the dead but praises G-D and affirms the value of life and much more. Something the nazis and their proxies are diametrically opposed to.
As we had done in the cemetery of Omaha Beach in Normandy France our Kadish could not be completed. The emotion eventually set Sol off into painful cries which in turn broke me down to a blithering fool incapable of completing the task.
We at least attempted the task in the shadow of one of the camps crematoria. The difficulty was exacerbated by the fact we had just walked out of viewing the crematoria internals and its still fully functional equipment.
