Field trip

On Monday we went to the Illinois Holocaust Museum in Skokie for a field trip. During the filed trip I learned some new things I didn't know before and saw some monuments and things in the concentration camps. I saw a real train that the Jews were transported on and actually got to go inside of it. I saw the clothes the Jews wore and the bowls they ate out of. We also learned a lot about the 1936 Olympics and about Jesse Owens. After that we had a real life survivor of Lodz ghetto and Auschwitz concentration camp talk to us about how it was like. I was really fascinated by his story and was surprised that he survived all of the thing that he said happened to him and others. I really think that everybody who is learning about the Holocaust should come to the Holocaust Museum in Skokie because it will help you learn more and understand what was going on in that time such as in concentration camps and it ghettos.
