Vanmiddag hebben de 10 docenten ons rondgeleid door Majdanek aan de hand van het boek van Jerzy Kwiatkowski. Zij deden dat allen uitstekend en elk op hun eigen manier. Zo kregen wij een goed beeld van 485 dagen Majdanek. Eén gedicht viel op. Een docent had in haar klas verteld over haar presentatie.
