Students mean the world to me. They are a gift that always makes me think about things I might otherwise ignore. Most students would never come on a Holocaust Study Abroad. Why would anyone want to spend time with such a devastating subject? I’ve learned it takes special students…those who want to contemplate that slippery slop that can send the human pursuit on a destructive fall. I hope the students who come with me to this place will always remember the lesson I try to teach…we have to be constantly vigilant about understanding who we are as individuals and what values we want to cling to, otherwise, anything is possible.
On this trip I have 7 amazing students and a great colleague, Dr. Tom Chapman. In the photo the students observe the Bedzin exhibit in Birkenau…faces of those who did not survive.
