Today we woke up a little bit earlier than usual to take our
side trips to Weimar and Erfurt. After
the usual breakfast of various breads, meats, cheeses and yogurts we left the
hostel to make our way to Weimar. After
a brief train ride, we separated into two groups: one to Buchenwald and the
other to Goethe house. On the way to the
Buchenwald concentration camp, the weather became foggy and very eerie (some
felt a little creeped out). We soon
arrived at Buchenwald and had a bit of a hard time figuring out our way since
there was no tour guide. Once we figured
out the way with our maps, we took our tour and visited various parts of the
camp. The crematorium was especially sad
and made me a bit emotional. Overall,
the trip to Buchenwald was very informative.
It’s important to remember the events of the Holocaust and pay respects
to those who lost their lives. I’m very
happy that I went. |
