Wow.........Incredible.............heartfelt....... are only a few of the words i could use.
Sara's 8th grade class took a field trip to the Museum of Tolerance in LA yesterday and it was amazing and i would love to go again and spend more time there. I wanted to look at everything, read and experience it but we didn't have the time.
I have to admit that the class didn't get what they should of out of the field trip. In my opinion they are still to young to fully grasp it all. I believe they understand the world is full of prejudice but they don't understand that they also in a small way are as well.
I can't tell you how exactly it made me feel listening and walking thru the Holocaust errea. Especially when we walked thru areas that looked ust as it did back then, like the bathing station / gas chamber. You have to go...
I highly suggest that all you older peps go check it out when you have a chance. just plan on spending a couple hours in there. The tour we took was only one part of the museum and it was 2.5 hours long. I know i will go again.
