DAY 16
Today
we visited the Holicaust Museum. It talks about the jewish genocid
during the Second World War. This was a great and really emotional
moment. The first chapter of the exposition treated the affirmation
of the nazi ideology and how everyone underestimated this threat.
The
second chapter treated the "Final Solution" and showed the
conditions of life of Jewish people in the ghettos and in the
concentration camps. It was really sad. We saw a lot of pictures,
testimonies and rests of the camps. Finally the third chapter exposed
the testimony of persons who tried to resist to the nazi expansion and helped the
Jewish people. We also saw a movie where people escaped from the
camps told their story.
If
think that this kind of exposition is really hard to build because
sometimes there's no word to express the horror and the suffering of the
past. But this museum was impressive cause it tells only the truth.
After
that we went in the Jefferson's memorial which is really beautiful. I
learnt more about this president because I didn't really know who he
was, and in fact he was a really passionate and cultivate human.
We
ate in a Mediterranean restaurant for lunch, then we got home and
that was the end of our DC trip!
