On April 29Th, the grade 5-8's traveled to Winnipeg to hear a survivor's story of the Holocaust. It wasn't anything like I was expecting. I was thinking it would be one of those museums where you wander in, get the little pamphlets with random info, check out some old things and get snippets of the history. But instead, we imitated the Jews on a train, being transported to a concentration camp, squishing ourselves into a narrow corner, with actual boxcar doors. After a brief introduction, we were led through the doors to hear Mrs. Franco, the survivor, who was very interesting to listen to, and her story of course was riveting.
After the Holocaust Museum, we went to the Imax to see Under the Sea 3D, which would have been soooooo real if it weren't for all the people in front of me clawing at the picture. (I'll forgive them.)
All in all, the Winnipeg trip was pretty cool. I really enjoyed the Holocaust Museum. Thank you all!
