Met some wonderful people from the Holocaust Museum Houston for dinner last night--Patrick Le Blanc -fellow traveler from Houston, Lili Gordon and Susan Myers -both who work with the museum and have been on this teacher seminar trip. They gave us great advice and insights about the trip. 2 more books were recommended that we read before leaving on our trip. In the Gardens of Beasts: Love, Terror and an American family in Hitler's Berlin by Erik Larsen Bloodlands: Europe between Hitler and Stalin. By Timothy Snyder. If last night is any indication of what is in store for us, it will be an amazing trip. What a delightful group of people and I look forward to meeting with them more.
