Sharaka is an organization bringing Jews, Muslims, Israelis, and Arabs together in Poland to learn about the Holocaust

"It was pouring rain - the hardest rain that I've been outside in, in a very long time, which was sort of fitting...It grounded me in where I was and in the history.

And thinking about how there were Jewish slaves there, working out in that kind of rain, in threadbare pajamas, starving to death, & having to do physical labor & be shot if they didn't keep up...

And meanwhile, I'm freezing in the cold, but I get to go on a warm bus and get a hot meal after this."
