This book made our group want to learn more about the concentration camps and the Holocaust. About 2 days ago my group sent an email to a teacher in Poland who had recently been on a field trip with her class to a Stutthof concentration camp. We asked her and her class some questions. Below are the questions. Only one of the questions have been answered so far.
