Friday April 23, 1999 Sobering trip to Polish camps strips teens' tough veneer Barbara Sofer
(...) Other critics insist that visiting Poland reinforces persecution complexes and fans jingoism. Still others regret every zloty that drops into the Polish till from Jewish hands.
(...) Very soon into our actual touring, I began to appreciate the teenagers. They listened politely as guides gave long lectures, but it was obvious that they didn't care a whit about Polish history. Neither did I. They had come to see the Holocaust.
I think it's just stupidity, not a bad intentions, but tells a lot about the origins. --HanzoHattori 09:32, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

- Well, one should also take note of the fact that the Jewish youth to come here to Poland every year are completely separated from the world by the security agents and their supervisors. Their trips usually look like this: Airport - bus - Auschwitz - bus - Kuzmir - bus - hotel - bus - Treblinka - bus - Airport. No chance to even speak with anyone living here, not to mention get to know the country and the people. A friend of mine who eventually settled in Poland told me, that the initial trip to Poland he made at school was a waste of time since he left Poland as stupid as he came here and it wasn't until much later that he learnt a bit about what actually happened during the war... But that's OT here I guess. //Halibutt 18:19, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Polish death camps (incorrect term)
There is no reason for this article to be at Polish death camps (incorrect term). We don't name the articles like this, imagine what would be if we had something like Geocentric model (wrong theory). :-) bogdan 16:16, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
