Marching back to the Future

After my son, Dylan, came back from The March of the Living (where he along with 10,000 other Jewish teens traveled to the Death Camps in Poland for Holocaust Remembrance Day, and then to Israel for Independence Day), he, and his friend Michael made a slide show which they not only presented to their youth group (Kulanu), but Michael then posted to Youtube.
You don’t need sound for this — however, the music does add to the 9+ minute experience. The first half (when they are at the camps in Poland) is very hard and depressing, however the mood does brighten up when they reach Israel. (Apparently the Israel half of the trip was added into the original Poland trip some years back when it was discovered that the kids had some trouble adjusting back to the world after viewing the camps.)
After watching the slideshow, I’m sure that you’ll understand why.
