And now - a message from the shnatties themselves!

Poland was amazing. I have genuinely never experienced anything like it before.
Before I went I told myself, I’m not the type of person to feel anything, I’m so numb to it all, I’m not the kind of person that will break down into tears at any random moment, but I definitely proved myself wrong.

I thought I would feel the most at Auschwitz because it’s the camp I’ve been educated about the most, but it wasn’t the case. Majdanek was the camp that really made me think a lot and actually made me cry, which is where I guess I learnt a bit about myself too!

The journey overall was amazing, the places we stayed at were luxurious which I really think we needed because the days were so intense and cold that we needed somewhere warm and exciting to go back to which was lovely.

Overall it was an unbelievable journey and definitely something that will stay with me for life. I think people should definitely be pushed to go and hear about other peoples journeys there because it’s such an important part of history.

I’m really thankful I got to go and experience everything.
