My daughters went to the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC. When they enter, they are given an "identity" of someone who was in the camps. They don't find out until the end whether the person survived or not.

TIS, since you'll have some free time coming up, I would suggest reading Wiesel's books as well as those of Simon Wiesenthal, another survivor who dedicated himself to hunting down the Nazi war criminals. The books, while they are heartbreaking, are also very life-affirming.
