I am still behind with this blog; though given the intensity of this trip, no one should be surprised. Again, I'm not sure I will have internet at each hotel, so I may get even further behind. Eventually, it will all get written.
Here's a very quick run down of where we've been.
Monday (7/8) was out last day in Berlin. We had a briefing at the US Embassy, and then saw the memorial to the Sinti and Roma (Gypsy) victims of the Nazis and the book burning memoriial. In the afternoon, we took a train to Prague, Czech Republic.
Tuesday (7/9) - Jewish Prague.
Wednesday (7/10) - the camp/ghetto of Terezin. Night train to Krakow, Poland.
Thursday (711) - Jewish Krakow.
Friday (7/12) - Auschwitz/Birkenau (Overwhelming and emotionally draining).
Today, Saturday (7/13) - Museum of Wartime Krakow in the former Schindler factory and the Galicia Museum (both excellent!).
Tomorrow, Sunday (7/14) - Belzec (extermination camp).
