Three overseas trips
to Israel, the country that has more survivors than any other in the world,
were taken during the past decade. Visited were historic sites as well as
the world's most prominent Holocaust Museum, Yad Vashem. Classes were held,
field trips taken, as well as visits with survivors, survivors' children
and grandchildren. The Netherlands, (Amsterdam) was also visited. Here one
group toured the "home" of Anne Frank and her family.
Our most recent trip
was to the sites of camps and ghettos in Germany, the Czech Republic, and
Poland. Hotels, breakfast and most dinners were provided as well as land
transportation and a university professor as the guide.
