Our field trip on Monday was centered completely around the Holocaust and the history of the Jews during that time period. Our Judaism teacher, Ophir, was our guide all throughout the day and it was so interesting to hear this story from his point of view. The museum goes into great depth about the history and happenings of the Holocaust. It was an extremely humbling and sobering museum. At the beginning, we sat in a grove of trees that were planted to represent all of the people who were not Jews but helped to protect the Jews. Next, we went to a museum for the children. Over 1.5 million children were killed during the Holocaust. This part of the museum was overwhelmingly powerful. You walk into a dark room that has mirrors everywhere and candles but other than that it is completely dark. In the background there are names of children being listed off, where they were from, and how old they were. It was very sobering. After this we walked through the main portion of the museum that had a ton of displays and amazing facts. Overall, this museum was beautifully done and very impacting.
After the museum, we walked up a small mountain and through a "Soldiers Cemetery." It was beautiful.
Monday was a great day where I learned so much about Holocaust and the Jew's history.
