A group of fifth and sixth graders from a public school in a poor, minority-dominated area of the Bronx is going to the remains of the Dachau concentration camp in Germany.
I personally side with some of the teachers in the article who think this is a little early to learn about the Holocaust on site. Nearly everyone quoted says that they are afraid of the the kids' reactions will be, with just reason. Most of the buildings are still standing, and it is no place for kids unless there is a very good reason to be there, such as ancestral history. This seems like a very bad choice by the teachers, but it will certainly be a memorable experience for the students.
