When I was in Kraków, I decided that there were two hells in the core of the earth.
There must be both a hot hell and a cold hell, like hell is a place of extremes.
The entrance to the first, more common, hell is in Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National
Park. In Geyser Basin there are, of course, lots of geysers shooting boiling water
hundreds of feet in the air. Also, there are pools of water which are boiling. Natural
springs which are boiling 24 hours a day. These springs go down to the depths of the
earth. One of the entrances to hell must necessarily be somewhere nearby.
The other, decidedly less well known, hell would of course have it's entrance on the
other side of the world, this way coming to and from their headquarters is a little
quicker for the devil and his minions. I decided that this hell must be somewhere
near Kraków. This place was the coldest place I'd ever been. I wore a sweatshirt
and two coats and still felt as though I would freeze. Later, when I found that
Auschwitz was about 20 kilometers from Kraków it made perfect sense, because
that put the other entrance to hell, where ever the hell it is, somewhere near
Auschwitz. This I decided made perfect sense for the location of the largest
concentration camp known to the Second World War.
