 In March 2009, we have visited Auschwitz concentration camps built by Nazi German in occupied Poland area during WWII. At that time, the cat had greeted us very friendly by sitting up (we call it "Chin Chin" in Japanese) just under the world famous gate.

 The gate of AuschwitzI concentration camp is very famous for the words written by German "Arbeit Macht Frei" means "will be released if they worked" in English.

 It is really a great irony and cynicism.

 Because, as you may know, 80% or more Jews who passed through this
famous gate had never returned.

 At the moment we passed through the same gate, the Cat has welcomed us so nicely and really healed our heart.

 Both of us became very happy to see this cat at this tragic site.Please see my face look so happy!

 Recently, when Mr. Aoyama compiles video clips related to the concentration camps in Poland under occupation of Nazi German,

 Aoyama found a video file of the same cat . Of course, taken in the field.
