This is the very humble beginning of a resource that should become useful, perhaps, essential for future school trips to Krakow, Auschwitz and Krakow. A group of senior school pupils from Musselburgh Grammar School will take part in a school trip to these places in October 2004. This site will represent the initial thoughts and feelings of pupils. The best of work from this blog will be displayed on the School's interactive mgsOnline pages for all to witness for years to come.
While posting to this site is limited to the main authors, please leave your comments in relation to the preparation of our students. Also, please take a look at the photo gallery of before, during and after the trip to see what our pupils and staff are seeing. We look forward to your comments.
E McIntosh, mgsOnline Project Manager.

I wish that we could take it with yall. I hope yall have a great time. But before I go I have a couple of questions to ask,How much reaseach did yall have to do before taking this trip?

Hey,
This is Nazarae at South Cobb High School in Georgia,USA. I hope you will have lots of fun on your trip. Did drama really help you to understand how it is to be Jewish at a concentration camp? What do you think you will get out of this trip? I hope everyone learns alot.
With Lots of Love,
Nazarae

I find a great interest in the Holocaust.I have taken classes over the years going in depth about the occurances of the Holocaust. When I hear the stories of what this culture of people went through, it makes me realize it's more out there than slavery, and injustice of human rights. When I hear the truth, it shows me to look a little deeper, to try atleast for a second and imagine what these people went through. My question to you is this, when you see the deaths, and you see the anguish written on every person, what runs through your mind? How does it make you feel?

hello,
My name is Tawny Smith.I am a student at South Cobb High School, which you have gotten alot of us on your comment list.I have found all of your pictures and essays very facinating.From all my searching on the web site that you have built,I have formed a few questions on the bases of your research.With what you have read and what you have seen so far do you feel greatful for what you have in your every day life? How does it make you feel when you see what has happened, and what do you think that you will gain from your trip? With in the acting lines, when you experienced the effect that acting could put upon you ,how did you feel when you were put in there places? So please have fun on your trip and be careful meaning be safe.
sincerly,
Tawny Smith

Hi, my name is Lee Anne... I too go to South Cobb. The video was very touching, and it's really exciting and moving to be looking into all this stuff. I wanted to ask the students, what are some of the things that touched you the most? And the things that had the biggest impact on you? And how did it effect you, after going and seeing all those things, to come home to your normal lives?
Thanks,
Lee Anne Rankin
