Madonna wants to take her four children; Lourdes, 12, Rocco, 8, and David Banda and Mercy, both 3; on a “life changing” trip to Auschwitz, the largest of Nazi Germany’s concentration camps and extermination camps established in Nazi German occupied Poland in the 1940s.

The Queen of Pop hopes to visit the camp with her family after her concert in Poland later this month and has already discussed the plans with close friend Rabbi Berg.

“It won’t be an easy trip but it is an ultimate life affirming experience, and one Madonna – because of her strong Kaballah beliefs – does not want to ignore,” an unidentified Madonna camp source whispered to The Mirror on Monday.

“She wants her children to appreciate how lucky they are and to learn about mistakes made in the past,” the source added.
