Auschwitz conference

After a long flight ,navigating through Munich airport, hopping a tram making a connection I arrived to Krackow and was so happy to be greeted by my friend and fellow educator, Jakub. We took a train, another train and bus to Oswiecim and to hotel which is literally across rhe street from Auchwitz. We were able to attend a very moving ceremony for a new exhibit `Through The Lens of Faith, ` a photo tribute to many survivors , many of whom were present, followed by musical pieces in the shadow of where the orchestra. was forced to play when prisoners arrived to the camp , on their way to slave labor, and on the way to the gas. The musicans also played on a few violins that survived, even if the musician did not. The wind was blowing, the lightening making its own show, and with the threat of a severe storm, a storm that held off until the end of the program which ened with  a moving violin and cello rendition of Avinu Malkanu
