Some travel is for fun; other travel is for a huge range of reasons. And some travel turns out to be really emotional - that\'s the kind we are looking at in Episode 241 of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast.

First up, I chat with Henry Gold. He\'s the son of two Holocaust survivors and tells the story of visiting the Auschwitz concentration camp with his mother when she was in her late seventies, when she could show and tell Henry and other family members about some of the horrid experiences she had there. It\'s quite a story.

Next, I speak with Carolanna Lisonbee and our emotional travel story centres on Hiroshima in Japan. Carolanna also travelled there with her mother and they both found it a very important trip.

Finally, I talk to Tim Tricker about the emotional aspects of irresponsible animal tourism, when he tells me about some difficult and distressing parts of a visit to Bangkok a few years back.
