Yesterday we spent our day with the polish students the whole day. We were at the Museum of the History of Polish Jews and later on we went to the Educational Centre. At the museum we saw a documentary film about Yoram Gross and we also met him.
When we came to the Educational Centre we worked in two mixed groups, one group had a guided tour around the museum while the others had workshops.
Thursday 30th of October
This was one of the days we were most excited about, because we had heard so much the place. Treblinka was an execution camp during the Second World War. It was an educational experience to actually be there instead of just reading about it.
When we were finished at Treblinka we went to a polish school called Minsk Mazowiecki. First we ate dinner and later on we finished our projects.

What was your expectation for the trip?
-I thought we would meet new people and work with them every day. Other than that I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was surprised in a good way about how the trip has gone.
What was the best experience of this trip?
- My best experience on this trip was probably at the JCC and that I got to taste kosher food.
Did you learn something new?
-Yes, I have learned about Polish Jewish history and how they are doing today and a lot about Warsaw during and after the war.
Do you think this was a good way to learn? Why?
-Definitely, it is a lot better than to read about it in a book. This way you actually get to see the places that you learn about and that has a much better effect then just reading about it.
