-What was your reaction to our visit to Buchenwald?
My reaction to our visit was pretty much how I anticipated it to be. I
felt bad becuase we were walking in a place that had been the sight of so
many unfair deaths. The camp was a symbol of Nazism, so of course I had
an adverse reaction. I felt cold (not simply because of the weather) and
I felt like I had a brick in my stomach which wouldn't go away. I did try
to look at the camp as objectively as possible, so as not to taint my
initial reaction, but I think it was impossible to separate what I was
taught and know about that time from the camp.
How were expectations of the visit met or not met?
As stated before, my expectations were met. I felt awful and sad.
Buchenwald was a somber and dreary place. I couldn't even imagine how it
was for the prisoners. But I pretty much predicted how I was going to
feel, and the visit fulfilled my expectations about what it was going to
be like.>>
