Did Kelvingrove not do an exhibition on this a wee while back? I have a vague memory of watching video clips of Holocaust survivors recounting their experiences.Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07234142723745714181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386603091079126646.post-44587677769160433152011-02-04T11:00:19.234+00:002011-02-04T11:00:19.234+00:00It seems like you gained a lot of valuable informa...It seems like you gained a lot of valuable information and ideas from the Holocaust day!!

It was odd because the camp is now part of the tourist industry and the visitors in holiday garb jarred oddly with the surroundings. The part I found most upsetting was not the images or the written information but an empty corridor in <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/daviddmuir/200904024/" rel="nofollow">The Bunker</a>. Somehow, seeing the row of doors and the empty corridor really hit me at an emotional level.<br /><br />As for the <i>Boy In The Striped Pyjamas</i>, there were all sorts of things that annoyed me about the film (e.g. I couldn't accept that the German boy could be so dim) but I thought it handled the scene at the end extraordinarily well. (Did you notice how I avoided a spoiler there?) Unfortunately though, I don't think it would work to show that scene to a class out of context.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614417017549146281noreply@blogger.com
