Terezin
We went to a concentration camp called Terezin. It was really interesting knowing it was first a prison camp before it was turned into a concentration camp. While we were there we had to go through the tunnel system they had placed beneath the camp itself and it was very claustrophobic. I now know I will never have to go through underground tunnels again! I found the museum across the town to be very informative about the life style the young boys and girls had to live through and the harsh environment they had. The picture they drew and the poems they wrote were very moving to me as well.

I like the tunnels until I thought it would be a cool place for a haunted tour and then I kept expecting people to pop out at me any second.
ReplyDeleteIt was a very humbling trip. Just looking at some of the dark rooms that people were placed in and the drawings that kids created of the camp, it's just so saddening.
