Train to Auschwitz
Journey into the Past
»They had better look out… one day our patience will be at an end and then these impudent and hypocritical Jews will be reduced to silence.«
An Italian school class goes on a journey to Auschwitz, the former extermination camp of the Nazis. For weeks they have been preparing for this journey. They go with different expectations.
Luca voices some doubts as to whether such a journey to Auschwitz can actually change a person lastingly. The visit will definitely provide food for thought – but people who are uninterested or shallow will probably not be greatly affected by the impressions gathered there.
