Mr. Hamburger

This morning we went to the Nuremberg city museum and the only cool part that was there was the mini city model that was carved out of wood by 4 men in 1939 that is on a scale of 1/500!  It was very awesome!  We got to see all the buildings, before they were bombed.  Then we had to watch this movie on the history of Nuremberg and there were these headphone things that played an English soundtrack.  Too bad my headphones didn't work.  It was le miz!  Afterwards we walked back to our hotel only to have like 15 minutes to change into nicer clothes because we were going to meet with the president of the Nuremberg Jewish Community. When we got there, we went into a small little meeting room where they had tables and chairs all set up with cookies, coffee, and water.  It was so precious!   This man, Arno Hamburger, was spared from the concentration camp by being sent to Palestine with a large number of Jewish children.  His parents were placed in a concentration camp in Latvia.  He joined the British army and went back to Nuremberg in 1945 after all the camps had been liberated.  He was able to be reunited with his parents in Nuremberg.  His story was so amazing.  His vice president had a different story, but his parents were sent to many camps, and only his father survived, with whom he later reunited with.  

Tomorrow we have a free day so I am going to the Nuremberg Zoo with some of the people from my group.  After that I am working hardcore on my school work.  I have to say though, I'm doing better than a lot of people because I am already done with 2 of the 6 books and I have been keeping up with our journal entries.  WOO! Until next time...
