A journey to the Holocaust sites in Germany and Poland
Tuesday, August 26, 2008
After being in the Kazimierz and the old Jewish section we traveled back a few blocks from our hotel. I caught this couple celebrating their wedding. They were taking these photographs in front of the castle wall we were going to visit. From the next picture you can see the size of the wall. The next picture is the stairs we climbed to arrive at the top. These ramparts and balustrades are the markers of the the center for rules for centuries. As we arrived at the top of the stairs you see part of the view over the rest of the city.
I have been teaching middle school social studies for ten years. As part of my curriculum, I teach the Holocaust and have had the opportunity to participate in a number of Holocaust studies for educators including "Teaching the Holocaust" sponsored through the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching (NCCAT). I also co-teach an online course on the Holocaust. As a Holocaust educator, I have been chosen to participate in this amazing NCCAT-sponsored trip to Germany and Poland to learn more about and experience the Holocaust sites first-hand.
