Thank you for making the trip so much easier for me and for dealing with so many of the logistics. I always gain so much from these trips and always feel that I take away something different each time that I can use in the classroom. I just wanted to offer my heartfelt thanks for a wonderful and thought-provoking trip to Poland this weekend. Your organisation and support throughout made the experience a smooth process from start to finish and your expertise on Poland and Jewish/Nazi 'relations' offered a fascinating insight into such a harrowing period of history. I have learnt so much that I can use in my teaching and look forward to incorporating this into my lessons.
