These are pins from United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and as I was packing for traveling, I found them to continue to inspire me about the work I am doing.

I flew to London and then took a train to stay with my friend in Cambridge as I will study the Upstander in times of crisis and conflict.  The plane ride was wonderful, but after about twenty-three hours of travel (including time change), I was exhausted (as was my sister, who is traveling with me).

When we finally arrive in Cambridge, we were able to explore a little of the city, and found a university who had two plays about the Upstander: one about the fight to clear the names of the three hundred soldiers who were wrongly shot for cowardice after the war, and one about a slave trader, John Newton, who eventually spoke against slavery (http://abolition.e2bn.org/people_35.html). I need to research these Upstanders more. 


Cambridge itself is beautiful. Below is a picture of Parker's Piece, where football was supposedly invented.


I cannot wait to research in the libraries of the University!
