viva la France day 4!

okay so today we went to a museum about deportation. deportation is when you remove someone from your country or area because you don't want them there. we learned about the effects of the world wars on germany and mostly france. the nazis didnt like the jews and deported some people just because they were criminals or even stupid reasons like because they wore glasses! then we rode on the bus up a tall tall tall tall tall mountain to a concentration camp. on the way up there there was a beautiful view of the valley! at the camp there was a place in the memorial building where we ate lunch. then we went to the concentration camp. we saw teh buildings where they tortured people. also the place where people worked and people were hung. then we wetn in a museum by the concentration camp adn saw a huge building that was built by laborers and slaves. they dont know why the building was built though. we saw many pictures of the time when concentration camps were used by Nazis. the prisoners would suffer concequences of isolation and beatings or even death for not doing as told and following the rules. after we left we went back to st. ettienne and the school gave us a reception and t shirtswe gave them their flag for a present. then camille took me and madison home for dinner. i tried fondue and we had fruit salad for dinner. au revior!
