The document summarizes the author's experience traveling with a youth delegation to Poland. They visited several important historical sites related to the Holocaust, including concentration camps, ghettos, and memorials. The trip included difficult moments of learning about the tragedies that occurred there, as well as happier times singing, laughing and bonding with the other students. The author hopes to share a small part of this impactful experience.
