National Honor Society Visits Holocaust Museum


4/7/11

by Becca Warfel

The Neoga chapter of the National Honor Society recently took their annual field trip. This year, the group went on April 6th to the Holocaust Museum. The museum, located in Terre Haute, Indiana, was a small, three room exhibit. It contained objects from the Holocaust such as a section of barbed wire from the Auschwitz concentration camp, a piece of the Berlin wall, and photographs from the owner of the museum. The owner, Eva Mozes Kor, is a Holocaust survivor and had a recorded presentation that the group viewed that told her story of survival throughout her time at Auschwitz. In addition to the museum, the students also got an opportunity to visit the mall and eat lunch at Friday’s.
