The trip began in Munich, where we learned about the Third Reich and spent a day with German students at the Landheim School. From Munich, we toured the Dachau Concentration Camp where we learned about the horrendously harsh daily lives of the prisoners. Students also took a walking tour of Nuremberg—visiting Nuremberg Old Town, Town Hall, their Imperial Castle courtyards, the Nazi Party Rally Grounds, and the courthouse in which the Nuremberg trials took place. After Munich, we traveled by train to Prague. Each of us was assigned a landmark in the Jewish Quarter and Old Town to present and we spent a day walking to those landmarks and learning about them from each other. We also had the option to visit the beautiful Prague Castle. For our second full day in Prague, we took a tour bus to the Ceský Krumlov UNESCO heritage site, where we visited the garden and castle and then had free time to explore the city on our own. Once arriving in Krakow, we did a walking tour of the city's Jewish quarter where we saw synagogues, private homes, and various locations where Schindler's List was filmed. We also did a tour of the Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp where we learned about the camp's history and then saw the remaining structures and memorials. The next day, we headed to the Krakow slat mine and had an in-depth tour of the massive, yet beautiful, mine. That night we had Shabbat dinner at the JCC in Krakow "Witness & Honor So That No One Forgets" Alexandra Weingard '24 recounts the experience of seven Upper School seniors studying the Holocaust in three European countries. 24 / TREVOR MAGAZINE FALL 2024–25 WHAT YOU MAY HAVE M I S S E D
