Re: Jewish students attacked at Auschwitz

i normally don't talk in the chit chat but this tread caught my attention as it hits me close to home. in 2000 i was fortunate to go on a trip called the march of the living which is a 2 week trip through Poland visiting concentration camps. i am Jewish and this experience was like none other in my whole life. now to the point. when we were at Majdanek my group experienced a similar act of hatred, we had a group of neo-nazi skin heads march on our group harassing us calling us pigs and dirty jews , screaming white power. it was one of the most intense moments in my entire life. I say moments because we has armed security with us and it was all over in less then a min. but the thing that came out of the experience to me was probably more exposure to the fact that there is still a large portion of the world who still feels that Hitler was right and still strives to compete his work. The whole purpose of this trip was education so that we would be able to share what we saw and become new survivors, making sure that people know the truth about what happened. I guess what i am trying to say is that even as terrible as this situation sounds it will probably one of the most important moments of their trip in the long run.
