Today we will be going on a virtual field trip to the Miami Beach Holocaust Memorial.  A regular trip would entail doing these 3 items:

1.  Watching a short 10-minute video about how and why the memorial was constructed. Holocaust-Memorial-Video

2.  Touring the memorial itself.  The following Tour Video was created by a tourist that was inspired by his visit and the story that the memorial told.  It is a 5-minute video created from the photographic images taken of the sights of the Miami Beach Holocaust Memorial set to stirring music.   

3.  Meeting a holocaust survivor and hearing their tale.  Well, here we have a wonderful man named Eddie Jaku.   He is now a citizen of Australia and will be 100 years old sometime this month.  He is known in Australia, and in some parts of the world, as “The Happiest Man Alive.”  BUT HOW? How can a holocaust survivor hold this title? Listen carefully!  Here is an interesting fact:  Even though Mr. Jaku is Jewish, he was not originally imprisoned because of his Jewish heritage. Hear his story in this 12-minute Video Mr. Jaku TED Talk.
