“Meeting” some of the great personalities in the Cemetery.

The Umschlagplatz. Between 250,000 & 300,000 Jews were relocated from Warsaw to Treblinka from this spot.
It rained while we were in the Cemetery and as we gathered on the umschlagplatz…as we stood at Mila 18, the last stand of the Warsaw ghetto uprising…we got a smile from above as a beautiful rainbow appeared!
The last seder in the Warsaw Ghetto.
Dinner at the Novotel…pretty fancy all considered.
