Bus 5:When we first arrived at the museum, we were given passports of real people's stories who were alive at the time of the Holocaust. Each person was given a card with the story of a person. We were also given a card with a question personal to you that you experienced during the tour of the museum. Before we entered the museum we were packed into an elevator and shown a clip about the horrible conditions of the concentration camps when the Allies liberated them.
As you walk around the museum, you come upon a glass case that has pieces of the Torah that were rescued when the Nazis burned down temples and synagogues. The third floor of the building portrayed what a concentration camp would look and feel like. On this floor it showed a cattle car where the victims were packed in standing room only. Also, next to the cattle cars were descriptions of the larger ghettos in Europe. On the opposite side of the descriptions of the ghettos were photos of the Jewish prisoners that were like mugshots. On another floor there were prisoners' from the Holocausts shoes. The Holocaust museum taught us very much about a horrible period in world history. -- C.H. and T.A.
Bus 6:
Andrew said, " It was very emotional and shocking at the same time."
Mrs. Eaton stated, "It was an experience all 8th grade students should have in their lives!"
Today we went to an emotional and famous museum of history, which is called the Holocaust Museum. In the museum, you got a passport of a Holocaust profile and their story. Also, you were portrayed as the person that you were. Throughout three leveled exhibits, you would find out if your person survived or died! The museum was very emotional when you saw photos of suffering with pain for no real reason. Also, the exhibit had some of the real pieces of the Holocaust walls, trucks, tools, and even shoes left from the victims of Hitler's terror.
The experience we left us with a memorable message: not to hate, but to love each other with kindness. -- J.C.
