Poland Day 1

Wroclaw Cathedral
It's 7:30 pm in Poland, and finally, I am able to lay down and get some sleep! It was a crazy travel day, with one very close-called connection flight. We arrived in Wroclaw around 10:15 this morning (about 4 am in Detroit) and settled into our rooms by 11:45. We were given a quick tour of how to get to the Ryneck (City Square), then let loose to explore! Wroclaw is a very cool area with a lot of restaurants, stone roads and walkways, and tons of churches. I had pierogies for lunch at a traditional Polish restaurant, then followed along with a group to explore Wroclaw beyond the square. We saw the River Oder, a little bit of the University of Wroclaw campus, and the restored Wroclaw Cathedral which was very badly damaged during WWII. After those few hours of exploring, I finally went back to the hotel to relax and take a short nap. We were allowed dinner on our own as well, so I went to a Kebab shop which was very good! Tomorrow will be more structured, as it is our first day working in the Cemetery! After a long day of working, we will be discussing our Survivor Memoirs that we chose during the class portion of this trip.

The entrance to the Muzeum Narodowe We reached our final destination! The first half of our day was spent traveling from Krakow to Warsaw. During the last 45 minutes of the drive, I started paying attention to the scenery around me. The buildings weren't very big and there were a lot of industrial businesses and a few companies that had Chinese as the primary or secondary language. That caught my eye because for the past week or so I have really only seen Polish, English, and occasionally German. I also noticed a large use of solar panels which is awesome! When we arrived in the city the traffic picked up a lot, there were many more tall office buildings and a huge shopping mall. After arriving at the hotel with one wrong hotel in our recent past, we waited for our rooms to be ready. While we waited, we were given a map and I spent the time figuring out where our hotel was and where the places I wanted to go to were. The transit map was very vague, so it was difficult to figure...

One section of the Warsaw Ghetto Wall Today was our last day in Poland! We had a tour of Warsaw in the morning and a meeting with Warsaw Hillel, then we were free for the rest of our afternoon. Our walking tour was very interesting. We saw the last remaining pieces of the ghetto wall, buildings that survived the war, and many monuments dedicated to the people who perished throughout the war. Our guide told us that the ghetto was actually divided into a smaller section and a larger section and they were separated by a single street. The two parts were eventually connected by a bridge that went over the street. This tour was a really great way to learn about the history of Warsaw and see a lot of the city in a relatively short amount of time. After our 3 hour tour, we met with a person from Warsaw Hillel and she talked to us a little bit about what they do. One way that their services differ from in the US is that they get a lot of cases of adults coming in having been told that thei...

Me in the process of pulling a sapling Today was very similar to yesterday. We woke up and went to the cemetery, came back and relaxed for a little bit, and then went to dinner (only this time as a group). The weather was much warmer today than it was the past two days which was nice. The main focus of today's work in the cemetery was more of the groundwork, so I spent the vast majority of my time pulling saplings (oak and maple) and picking up branches, with the occasional spotting of a headstone or plot that I was able to uncover. As I was working, I started thinking about the amount of time and effort I was putting into finding these saplings and whether my time would be better spent clearing the brush and looking for more covered gravesites. It wasn't until one of our faculty said that it's the trees that do a lot of the damage in the cemetery because the roots will push the stones up or cause them to break completely that I realized this simple job is just as impor...
