I cannot tell you all how much I enjoyed your presentations on the Memorials. It's like everything else we are doing in that I have no idea how it will go until we do it. I appreciate your willingness to be guinea pigs in my experimentation for this course. The coolest thing was, even though some Memorials were presented several times, you all had different insight into them. It was wonderful. I am including some pictures I found from the exhibit I told you about at the Museum. It was the one Hillary and Leah talked about. I would welcome any comments you have about those presentations. I will post another thing for you to also comment on, if you wish.

Hey everyone!
I really enjoyed doing the memorial reserach! I learned a ton of stuff while doing the project.
The memorials that intrigued me the most were...
The Holocaust Memorials in Paris, Yad Vashem, USHMM, and the memorial in Miami.
The one in Paris shocked me. I just got so interested in it. When I go to France this summer, I will most likely be going to the memorial museum. I'm so excited! I just can not wait to see it. I will take LOTS of pictures for you Mrs. Davis!
The pictures you posted are simply amazing, Mrs. Davis! You said they were detailed and oh my goodnes! haha. I wonder how long it took the artist(s) to create those. Anyone know?
God Bless,

First of all, I really enjoyed going to washingon and seeing everything and i would have to say one of my favorite things would have been the holocaust museum. The exhibits they had were amazing. I am so glad you got pictures of the one that me and Hillary talked about so everyone can see it. It was a little hard to explain to the class how it looked like. haha I really enjoyed this project and the trip.
When I went to the holocaust museum I was expecting to ball my eyes out. I had heard about it alot from Mrs. Davis, but when i got there and went up the elevator to the fourth floor walked out and seen just a little of it it was like something came over me. I couldn't cry i didn't want to move from in of the memorials i just wanted to sit there and take it all in. When i came up to this memorial my mind was running 90 mph
I couldn't stop looking at there faces and how detailed they were. I felt like i was there, and i know i could never imagine what it was like, but it just seemed so real. Thanks so much Mrs. Davis for having this trip! I hope everyone can have this experience!
If i had to pick a second exhibit that struck me most it would have been this one. It just looked so real but on a different size scale.. it really helped me understand what Jews went through during their execution and murder. The fact that a human could treat another human this way is impossible to believe. They stripped them of their dignity then shoved them in a room to die. Anyone whose capable of treating someone like this cannot be human or have a heart.
