Vacation Report #13

Most of our vacations tend to land on the silly side. But occasionally we throw in something educational or even significantly emotional. That would include our visit to the Holocaust Museum & Learning Center. There's not much I can say about the museum that would give it justice.
We kind of piggy-backed onto a guided tour with a local school group and then sat in on a Holocaust survivor's talk afterwards. Her story was an amazing one, a Polish Jew who went from a Polish Ghetto to Concentration Camps, losing her mother and separated from her father during the process finally ending up in Bergen-Belsen by the end of the war where she was found on the brink of death.

Hearing her story and seeing how she made it relate to the kids in the room was something I'm glad we got the chance to experience. It certainly makes something that you normally just read about in history books, watch on TV and see in museums become much more real!
