Still going strong.
Today we went to Yad Vashem.
Our guide was a survivor from Slovenia who somehow survived Auchwitz with her older sister and then got to Australia after the war.
We then had a memorial service at the Valley of the Communities and placed flowers near at our ancestors cities. We tried to find Memel but didn't so placed one of our flowers at Vilnius.
Yesterday after the cooking class and dinner, the Cantor organized a small dinner with his family, us and another family that we all know (they are KI members, not on the tour but here for a family Bat Mitzvah)-Ruth and I were at Stanford together and she was in Marc's med school class and she is married to a knee orthopedist in Santa Monica and their three kids (their oldest is an Archer grad who is entering her 3rd year at Wash U). It was fun and then we walked on Ben Yehuda Street which was alive at 11pm. We all got ice cream. Marc, of course, got coconut.
