Wednesday, July 2nd:Today, Group 8 drove to Tikochin, where there is a beautiful synagogue still standing. They learned about the town and about Jewish life there. From there they drove to the Lupuchova Forest, which is a site of mass graves. After lunch, the group followed the train tracks to Treblinka extermination camp. While nothing remains at
Treblinka there is a very powerful monument at the site of the camp: thousands of stones jutting out of the ground like tombstones, some with
the name of a town or city from which Jews were brought. There are also symbolic concrete blocks marking where the trains used to come into the camp. After a memorial service the group drove back to Warsaw wher
e they are spending the night.
