So Busy!

January 18, 2009

Today we walked to the Metro center to go to the Holocaust Museum. Once we got in we had to pick our person and read about him. My person's name was Miso Vogel. He was apart of the Holocaust. When he was on his way to a concentration camp he escaped when the U.S. Army were coming to save them. We also learned that the Nazis made a bonfire out of books that talked about Jews. Adolf Hitler was a good leader for the evil because he persuaded the Germans that anyone who was not considered white should not be on this earth.

When we left the museum outside there were about 12 Obama stands lined up. When we were going to the Metro Station there were thousands of people in the station. When we boarded the train I was squished because people did not want to wait for the next train.

When we got out of the Metro station we were waiting for our bus but, the bus was going to take 30 minutes. So my DC family decided to go eat Mexican food at Guapo's. The food was so good. When we left Guapo's we had to walk a mile in the 30 degree weather. I didn't think it was so bad.

I hope you read my blog tomorrow.

Malik, what have you learned about the power of words - from both Hitler and President Obama? What do you think the gathering in D.C. says about our nation and it's people? Is there any similarity between the two leaders in your opinion? I look forward to reading more about your time in our nation's capitol. Ms. Marie
