Thank you. I'm really moved by people's curiosity and reactions here.

One thing I wish is that more people had the opportunity to go on trips like this -- and that, like in Israel, it were more common, even mandatory, to go. (I believe that in 11th grade it's typical for Israeli students to go to Poland through school to see a camp.) It's one thing for Jewish youths to visit sites they've learned about and further internalize the lessons of what extreme, unchecked prejudice can lead to. It's another to teach the uneducated or already biased of the damage that prejudice can cause by taking them to Holocaust sites (or any genocide sites). This trip was like preaching to the choir. Like you say, its lessons need to be spread everywhere.
