This blog will detail my experiences, reflections, and general observations from my trip to Europe. It will also contain all of the photos and video that I intend to use for classroom purposes.

The Jewish Ghetto Memorial
This is the back side of the monument to the Ghetto Heroes . The memorial was built in 1948 and is the most meaningful marker (at the moment... a museum is currently being built) to the Jews who suffered that is located within the actual Ghetto. To your left, you will see a line of Jews that are headed for death in the camps. There is a message of hope though. Do you see the little boy that appears under the line and is looking the other way? His presence is intended to suggest that as long as there are survivors that Jews will not only remember the events of the Holocaust, but they will go on to prosper in the future once more.
This is all that is left in Warsaw (besides the memorial)to demonstrate that the Ghetto existed.
