Hey All!

What a day today! Today was the march, it was incredible! The amount of people from all over the world that gathered to walk together. I met people from literally every part of the world. I met people from Mexico, Germany, Hungry, Poland, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and so many more countries. This was an incredible day. The march took about 3 hours and concluded with a huge Holocaust remembrance Ceremony.

After the Ceremony we boarded the buses for a 5 hour ride to our hotel. The bus ride was a lot of fun because it gave us time to bond even more. We have a kid on our bus that plays guitar so we were singing different songs throughout the ride. I even told my new friends about my performance in 2007 at camp of High School Musical. They can’t believe that I was in HSM. I told them I will send them footage after the trip.

That’s basically it for tonight, its very late…2AM and I have to be up at 7am!

Goodnight from Poland!

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to give a quick hello from Poland. We are on our second night here in Poland. We arrived in Poland yesterday afternoon and toured Warsaw. This morning we made the four hour trip to Krakow. We then traveled to Auschwitz and Birkenau. It was a really sad experience.

Tomorrow we are participating in the actual March of the Living with more than 7,000 Jewish teens and adults from all over the work coming from 50 different countries. We are marching from Auschwitz to Birkenau.

My group that I’m with is filled with more than 100 kids from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Texas and Ohio. I have made a ton of new friends already from all over the country! At dinner tonight the March of the Living group from Brazil and Canada were at the same restaurant as us. It was exciting to meet people from different countries.

Hey Canadensis,

I have arrived in Poland! We left JFK late last night and arrived in Poland around 2PM (8AM EST) today. The flight was very good, I slept for most of it though.

Once we got to Poland this afternoon we toured several sites include the Jewish Warsaw Ghetto Memorial and the Jewish Cemetery in Warsaw. Tomorrow we are visiting some of the concentration camps from World War II.

I will have much more tomorrow when I’m not so tired! Check back soon for more updates.
