Preparing to meet Holocaust survivor
Sunday, July 22, 2012
Grey Skies
It
was cold and rainy most of the day. In the morning our delegation visited
Mauthausen, the infamous Nazi Concentration Camp where over 100,000 prisoners
perished. The weather seemed to reflect
everyone’s somber mood. I was so proud
to be with such respectful, mature young people who impressed our tour guide
with their thoughtful insights and questions. Later in Vienna, students were
very fortunate to meet an 82 year old Austrian Holocaust survivor. It was a
very moving experience for all. On a lighter note, everyone had fun after
dinner exploring the beautiful grounds of Schonbrunn Palace.
