Third Day

January 18, 2009

Today was a good day because we went to a place full of history. We went to the Holocaust Museum. We learned about the Nazis and how the Jews were killed just because the Nazis believed that Jews killed the Nazi's God and other rumors.


They would destroy their homes and businesses then the Nazis would move the Jews into the ghetto. Then the Jews would be tricked into thinking that they could take a shower so they would take off their clothes, and they said "remember where you put your clothes" and instead of water, the Nazis put poison in the shower so they would die. Then the Nazis would carry the dead Jews to the crematorium where they would burn them and turn the Jews into ash. They would give the clothes to other Nazis. Learning this made me feel sad and mad at the Nazi's.


After the Holocaust Museum we went to the Metro station and it was crowded and a little bit worse than rush hour. We used a buddy system to get on the train with ease. All the trains were full!


Then we went to Mexico for dinner (Guapo's is really the name of the restaurant) and I had a big beef burrito! I hope we have as much fun tomorrow as we did today.
