Holocaust presentation~by Beth




There is a small Holocaust museum in Naples. They have a mobile museum exhibit that travels around the county. It is a box car that was in service during the Nazi regime in Germany. It has been refurbished, but most of it is original. This week it is on display at the church where Jon teaches. We attended a presentation in the church on Tuesday about the Holocaust. My older students sat with some home school friends right behind students from the Christian school, and I sat in the back with our little people, who colored and did not participate. Afterwards we went outside to where the box car is on display and walked into it. The children had a chance to see how small an area that many Jewish people were stuffed into on their way to concentration camps.
