We started with a presentation on ethical wills, written by people to their family members knowing that they might not survive. To be honest, some of at first thought this might be a bit dull - until we actually read the wills. My group received the will of a Rabbi Geliebter, which led us into a debate on what is meant by revenge. We agreed that true revenge against the Nazis is more than causing them physical harm - it is outliving them. They tried to destroy us but yet here we are, stronger then ever, living and thriving.
After this fantastic workshop, we took a tour of the museum, with our group split up into four sub-groups; every group had a unique experience with their guide. The tour was extremely informative and intellectually stimulating for everyone, even those who originally did not show much interest. In the end, all of us walked out humbler, with our heads held higher, and with a greater pride in our Jewish heritage.
