It relates the experience of David Effren, a UNC-G student, during a recent trip to the US Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. Hillel Students Visit US IHolocaust l\/luseum By David Effren, UNCG The UNC-G Hillel. along with other Hillel members from surrounding schools, ventured to Washington to visit the United States Holocaust Museum. Preparing for the trip was tough; it was filled with mixed emotions. Flashbacks of my trip eight years ago to the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial in Israel re minded me of the horror I had ex perienced. The (US) museum is huge in stature and once inside you are overwhelmed by space. Looking straight ahead, one sees a huge marble wall which, in my opin ion, represented darkness. The opposing wall is white marble, symbolizing light. Built into the walls are huge arched doorways, which appear to be facsimiles of the arches that flank the entrance to Auschwitz. The elevators are made to look like gas chambers; the lighting is dark to set a motif; and even the halls are tight pas sages, making one feel as though he or she is experiencing what those six million did. To me the museum was more of an educational experience than a tear jerker. Even though the pic tures and exhibits spoke for them selves, the museum went a step further. Everything that was dis played in the museum was accom panied with literature and movies to appeal to all our senses. It was an incredible experi ence affecting not only our hearts but our minds and our eyes and, especially, our legs, for as we walked through the museum, we were overtaken with numbness. It got to the point where we found ourselves saying, “How much more must we see?” It was then we realized that no matter how much more we saw or experienced or tried to understand, it would not change the fact that millions of people were executed as the world stoc^ still. LI.B.E.R.T.Y. Senior Youth Group Attended NFTY-MAR Spring Conclave By Katie Benfield Kol E'chad - All for One It was a great weekend for all of us? We arrived in Washington late Thursday evening where we were greeted by our tired host families. But it was important to get to know the other NFTY-ites that were staying at the same host house. The weekend was filled with programs, services, fun and elec tions. The programs were related to individuals, community and world community, all trying to achieve a greater understanding of our possible role in society. The services were compiled by the Youth of Washington Hebrew Congregation, where the Con clave was held, and we were es pecially impressed by their Youth Choir. The fun was a trip to the Washington Zoo for a Scavenijer Hunt, a F'ormal Dance on the Sat urday night followed by a sleep- over in the Temple, and of course just being part of the Conclave! The elections created a sense of belonging with tears and laughter, especially as some of the Seniors would not be attending another conclave. It was nice to learn of their experiences and memories of past events. The weekend was such a wonderful experience for our Youth Group to meet other Jewish Youth groups in the Re gion. It is nice to know that we are a part of NFTY-HAR and are “All for One.” Katie Ben field Secretary/Publicity ICE CREAM CAKES DIU>*Sl»kY! •Your favorite Ben^Jerry’s ice cream or froaen yogurt •A f udgy, chewy, rich chocolate brownie layer •More Ben^Jen^’s •More brownies •Your special message ^ •Fresh whipped cream or buttercream frosting Order today for Father’s Day! for your choice of flavors, advance notice Is ^ISR^FINE^ICE cream 9 FROZEN YOGURT, 307 Providenoe Rd. • 333-1003 • The Arboretum 20e 5.
