| Our class was afforded a private tour of the Jewish Museum |
 |
| The Jewish people had a rich history in this city until WWII |
 |
| All the Jews were gathered and deported to concentration camps by the Nazis |
 |
| The real gem of this museum was the docent, who herself was the daughter of a Holocaust survivor; she walked us through rich and interesting history of the Jewish people here in this city. |
 |
| There there was once a thriving Jewish population of over 50,000, |
 |
| today, there is just over 1,000 Jews living in community in Thessaloniki (0.2% of the population). |

| This is a yellow star fabric cutting machine. |
 |
| this photo completely captured my attention - notice the different emotions expressed in each of the man's faces as they display their identification tattoos |
 |
| "Don't focus on the number lost as much as the fact that these were all individuals with their own story and life." |
