About two weeks ago we returned from Poland. The week we spent there was full of experiences. Some of the things we saw are mass graves, synagogues and of course the extermination camps.
During the week new friendships were formed, we were there for each other all the time and we became one big family.
Our Message
The message we take from the journey is that as Jews it is our duty not to forget the past, but it is even more important to worry about the present; that is to prevent any discrimination based on race, religion, gender or ethnicity.
We recommend this journey to everybody, despite the
emotional difficulties.
Our Journey to Poland
Holocaust
by Barbara Sonek
We played, we laughed
we were loved.
We were ripped from the arms of our
parents and thrown into the fire.
We were nothing more than children.
We had a future. We were going to be lawyers, rabbis, wives, teachers, mothers. We had dreams, then we had no hope. We were taken away in the dead of night like cattle in cars, no air to breathe smothering, crying, starving, dying. Separated from the world to be no more. From the ashes, hear our plea. This atrocity to mankind can not happen again. Remember us, for we were the children whose dreams and lives were stolen away.
