My work experience

So, I’ve just received word that my work experience has been approved at Auschwitz Concentration Camp. Honoured, privileged and slightly nervous I am a mixture of emotions. I believe that by understanding the holocaust and visiting the museums commemorating the atrocities; we can continue to understand and learn from the past.

I do love history, I hope so I study it after all, but sometimes there is always the question of: what’s the point in this? I often get asked about why I do history and I very often find myself struggling to answer because, well, how do you answer? Yet, in the case of the holocaust I find my answer very easy. If we stop learning then we stop caring.

On a personal level i am shitting it as I don’t know how being away from the normalities of life will pan out but a challenge is a challenge.

Anyway, I’ll keep you posted in the next month about how I get on.
