My European study of the Holocaust is almost over and it feels like the best time to do so. This class had to be the hardest Berea has to offer. Don't argue with me on this; science and gstr is nothing compared to seeing the massive amounts of remains of babies. Some of my classmates have to go to therapy after this and some are questioning their faith in god. I have to say that I did not react this dramatically, but just as everyone else, I did break down crying at least once and felt to physically sick to want to continue. Nothing could have prepared us for this.

At the same time I am glad I did this. It would be too long and personal to explain in a DA journal, but this trip was very important to me. I finally felt that I came to terms to this tragedy at the last camp we had to visit, Treblinka. It was the place were Korczak died with the two hundred orphans he took care of before and during the Warsaw ghetto.

Tomorrow we meet a rightous gentile and then we go home. I'm excited about being back in America again. Being away from it made me really appreciate my country. Especially the free refills and ice drinks. The first thing I'm going to do when I get home is get a large drink at Taco Bell or something and keep refilling it.

Well, I just wanted all of you to know that I'm ok after this trip. I know a few were concerned about the content, but I'm still a goofball and love to laugh. Though there are many things that I do not find funny anymore and things that used to get me depressed does not seem like a big deal anymore. I don't know, I'm not sure how much I changed, but I don't think I'm a new Rebecca. I still piss the Polish off for being loud when I get excited. My bad. I just say they're just jealous, because their country sucks compared to America. XD Seriously, THEIR CHEESECAKE TASTES TERRIBLE!!
