Life is a Journey..
During Sep, 2011 my son, Saar together with group of 150 pupils from his school visited Poland.
They traveled mostly concentration camps, learning about the HOLOCAUST Subject from a closer look.
During their stay there,they light candles.. made ceremonies in memory of 6 million Jewish, that were exterminated in Holocaust.
.
During their 7 days stay in Poland, we followed them from far (here) in photos and videos, that were posted 3 times a day in a special site.
The teenagers age 17+ had a special, different experience. Each time, I looked at the photos, i felt part of this experience.
Upper photo is one of many photos, that were posted in "following journey" site, during their visit. My son Saar can be seen there (right)..
( today you can click on the photo to enlarge it)
The bottom photo is another photo of part of his class.
The video below was taken in Auschwitz, My son Saar also can be seen there.. though, his spoken part, is not seen.
Next month the parents will have a special day with the kids at school, in this subject.
Thanks for visiting...
Wishing you the best..

I was in Dachau... and it's impressionable and very emotional touching to visit a place like that! I can imagine what they feel being there...Olga van Dijk 05 Oct 2011
Impressive, dear Nira.... We have such programs in Holland too.Elaine Cruickshank 05 Oct 2011
Nira, thanks for sharing the videos and photos with us. I visited Auschwitz about 12 years ago and have to admit that it was such a really moving, poignant, sad and shocking experience. It was during this visit that the sheer scale of the horror and torment, that these poor innocent people had to endure, really hit home to me.DEE JOBES PHOTOGRAPHY 05 Oct 2011
Wow,must have been an amazing deep moving experience for Saar and the other 150 pupils.The horror and tragedy that took place in that time of history should never be forgotten!I remember the stories my Grandmother shared with me of what she and her family experienced in Poland during World War 2...So much sorrow and loss during that time for the Jewish People,The Apple of God's Eye! Thank You for Sharing!With Much Love&Prayers,Dee&David (((((((Hugs))))))Thom Roslan 05 Oct 2011
I wish we had such programs here.......sometimes I think we here in America have forgotten the Second World War and not pay much attention to the legacy of it. I'm so happy your son and his class are learning this very "Important" message. May We Never Forget !Geoff Cooper 05 Oct 2011
Dear Nira, thank you for sharing this with us, I agree with all the comments. During my time in the Navy I visited the Belson camp in Germany, a very sombre experience, never to be forgotten...Peter Rivron 04 Oct 2011
It is always good to see young people showing an interest in the past, even though it was a sad and tragic past, I am sure it helps them appreciate what they have and where they are today. Thanks for sharing Nira...Ropati Leaso-Cobb 04 Oct 2011

thanks for sharing my dearest Nirasje. Leendert was doing the same trip and was very touched by everything he was seeing, visiting. His assistant is Polish and she was able to tell a lot.Stefani Wehner 04 Oct 2011
It's a sad part of our history...... But the youth needs to know what happened and it's great how this trip was managed. Thanks for sharing my dear, enjoy your evening.
