I am new to Road Scholar.  I would like to correspond to anyone who has experienced this trip.  This will be my first travel experience solo and over 60.  

Thank you!

    I myself have not been on this trip but a good friend, who's mother was encamped at Auschwitz, went and said it was quite an experience. Each person will receive a different experience. I don't want to say more as guessing from what she said that not knowing what to expect is part of each persons experience. I was recently on a trip with a gentlemen who went on same trip; he had a conversation with a gentleman who was the official photographer for the camp and said it was a life changer.

    I'm sure that each person will experience this trip in his or her own personal way. I was born into a loving family,
    but they were incorrigibly racist and anti-semitic (which I didn't even recognize until I got to high school). I had
    a difficult time (about 15 years) trying to work my way through it all. I'm hoping for a bit of soul-cleansing.
