Kamp Vught (By Joan Sobrevilla)

The concentration camp (Kamp Vought) is a sad place, is a good museum, but I did not understand almost nothing in english. Many people died for nothing, but not as much as in other fields. We heard many sad stories. I learned to be more serious about these topics.
One day locked in a very small room, a meny women, to defend only one.Many died in there.
I was ver impressed crematora, was very impressive, people who died there.
Was sad but also a nice experience.

MY FAVOURITE CITY (by Clàudia Montaner)

My favourite city was Amsterdam. Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands. In the west, about 20 km west of the North Sea. Administratively, it belongs to the province of North Holland. Now is the largest city in the country and the cultural and financial center. We went to visit Amsterdam on Tuesday.I liked that place that was very different, have a different life. They had coffie shops, the red neighborhood, many shops and  best tranports, but theyusually go by bike, they had very large parking for bicycles. In Amsterdam live many people and is a modern city. I like this city, because they can do more things, but I not live because it's cold and don't have beach.But it's nice!

KAMP VUGHT (by Clàudia Montaner)

It is a concentration camp where the Nazis killed people, because they were of different races, different religions and different political. In the concentration camps that we visited told us how the people lived in this in this place. They have a blue and white striped clothes, every people had a different identification or the reason they were in concentration camps, identified by colour. The Nazis said that young children are brought to a better place, and parents also wanted to go with them and finally was that the Nazis killed in families.At the place where they can talk and make cards for the escape is in the badroom because the Nazis closed the badroom because was smelled. I was very impress and I hope it never happens again.

VAN GOGH MUSEUM (by Clàudia Montaner)

My favourite paiting is Bateaux de Pecheurs because I like the colours and their combination. The landscapes there are is beautiful and tranquility. There are not people, but there are landscapes.

Van Gogh was a Dutch post-Impressionist painter whose work had a far-reaching influence on 20th century art for its vivid colors and emotional impact. He suffered from anxiety and increasingly frequent bouts of mental illness throughout his life and died, largely unknown, at the age of 37 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

MY EXPERIENCE IN HOLLAND (by Clàudia Montaner)

My experience in Holland was good.These 10 days I learned english. The first days my dutch and me didn't speak so much. The family of my exchange was very nice, they tract me very good. The house wasn’t so big, but was nice.

Every day we went by bicycle, and I was like, was funny. The excursions we did I liked a lot, we visited many places, we have a good time. I liked when all the afternoon stayed with friends and exchange.

I knew differents lifestyles and I learned some words in Dutch too. The largest differences was the transportation, they usually go by bicycle and the houses, they haven’t many flats. I think it's a unique experience to do that again. I want the exchange to come to spain, and we very enjoy.

camp (by pol)

 It was one of three camps in theNetherlands duringtheSecond World War. In general there are 31.000 people in this camp. In this camp there are a lot of bedrooms and bathrooms for the people in the prision. From this camp there are a lot of bad historys from the people on this camp. Also the people in this camp wear a jacket and trouser stripeds. In this concentration camp not many people died because it was temporary. But he had a season where many children had died months of life. And the most important was that prisoners often help each other because they were in the field without having done anything

Kamp Vught ( by Tatamo guxens )

It was one of three camps in the Netherlands during the Second World War. The construction of thecamp began in 1942. The operation began onJanuary 13, 1943. Released the October 26, 1944. In total there were 31,000 people in prison.Of these, 1078 were found in the extermination camps. Today is a national monument area.Nationaal Monument Kamp Vught was created in 2002. And though he survived only a fraction of the original field, is an impressive place thatresembles recent history. We had the opportunity to see the building in whichprisoners live, original crematorium, the threewatchtowers and fences of the original field. It's really sad, knowing that in this field has killed many people, children, entire familias, elderly, women and men. The guide told us that a law forbade the killing of children under 18 years. To kill a guy, waited on his birthday  in September. They also killed many children and entire families. They get the kids in a poor state of the concentration camp because they gave bad publicity to the people away. Parents who felt the love for their children wanted to go with them. They were all killed.

You can see a video on this camp (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=GSe4H8Itn5o).

MY FAVORITE CITY ( by Tatamo Guxens )

My favorite city’s Amsterdam. Amsterdam fans out south from the Amsterdam Central railway station. The Damrak is the main street and leads into the street Rokin. It is a city that also has a culture very different style of architecture of buildings and streets of Catalonia. And I like that because there are many mysteries.The oldest area of the town is known as de Wallen (the quays). It lies to the east of Damrak and contains the city's famous red light district. To the south of de Wallen is the old Jewish quarter of Waterlooplein. Famous for the huge number of bicycles and isthe world center of bicycle culture. The 17th century canals of Amsterdam, known as the Grachtengordel, embraces the heart of the city where homes have interesting gables. Beyond the Grachtengordel are the former working class areas of Jordaan and de Pijp. The Museumplein with the city's major museums, the Vondelpark, a 19th century park named after the Dutch writer Joost van den Vondel, and the Plantage neighbourhood, with the zoo, are also located outside the Grachtengordel.

Several parts of the city and the surrounding urban area are polders. This can be recognized by the suffix -meer which means lake.

THE FLAG AND THE COAT OF ARMS   

 

In Amsterdam there are many internationally renowned museums such as the Rijksmuseum,the Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art Museum andthe Museum het Rembrandthuis or 'MuseumRembrandt House'which was the home and studioof Rembrandt, and displays an interesting collection etchings of authorship, the van GoghMuseum, which has the largest collection of paintings by Van Gogh in the world, the MadameTussaud Wax Museum or the Museum of Cinema, also known as Filmmuseum.
Also the Anne Frank House. We went to visit many of these sites.  It’s a beautiful city!

VAN GOGH MUSEUM ( by Tatamo Guxens )

Vincent Willem van Gogh was born 30 March 1853 and he dies 29 July 1890) was a Dutch post-Impressionist painter whose work had a far-reaching influence on 20th century art for its vivid colors and emotional impact. He suffered fromanxiety and increasingly frequent bouts of mental illness throughout his life and died, largely unknown, at the age of 37 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Van Gogh spent his early adulthood working for a firm of art dealers and traveled between The Hague, London and Paris, after which he taught in England. An early vocational aspiration was to become a pastor and preach the gospel, and from 1879 he worked as a missionary in a mining region in Belgium. During this time he began to sketch people from the local community, and in 1885 painted his first major work The Potato Eaters. Today many of his pieces (including his numerous self portraits, landscapes, portraits and sunflowers) are among the world's most recognizable and expensive works of art. My favourite painting is Undergrowth 1889, because When a patient at Saint-Rémy, Van Gogh made many paintings of the shady, overgrown hospital garden. To Theo, he wrote this on his life in the hospital: ‘seeing as life takes place mainly in the garden, it is not so very sad.’ With short brushstrokes that create a blurred effect, he painted the undergrowth that grew beneath the twisted tree trunks there.

Broken by the dapples of light, woodland shade was a theme that had often occupied Van Gogh. When he had worked in the Parisian region two years earlier he had also painted a series of such scenes.

MY EXPERIENCE IN HOLLAND (by Tatamo Guxens)

The first day I felt very strange in a

place that doesn't is my home, my city,

my people, the atmosphere is totally

different. In the family but I felt very

accepted. I had the feeling

of being a block in a museum, because they  all looked with detail, it was for me very uncomfortable.

In here everybody goes by bike. Her parents

and her brother are very nice with me. Her

father  got a great sense of humour and he

speaks good Spanish. We went to visit so many things! I'm delighted. What impresses me most is that in Holland there are many people who bike in the morning to go to school and all the girls were bringing only a bag modern, is very mysterious because I need to space to put all my school supplies! The houses are huge and very modern to me seem dollhouses. The landscape was unique,  say much of where we were we: plane, cold weather, green trees, beautiful buildings, many bicycle lanes, and quiet.

He was a unique experience for me, has greatly improved the relationship I have with my colleagues from the institute, I hope that happens again!

My experience in Holland (by pol)

My first experience in Holland is that is a very nice country. Is different that Spain but some things are very similar. In Holland there aren’t any mountains and usually the dutch people go with bike. Other impressive thing its that in Holland there are a lot of bicycles parkings. 1 important thing is that in Holland there are a lo of wills. Also there are a lot of people that smoke and drink beer because in Holland its legal smoke at 14 years old and drink beer at 18 years old. Holland has got a lot of citys, some are very importants and very big. Th importants citys are: Amsterdam and Rotterdam. In general for me Holland is a very nice country and very interesant.

Kamp Vught

In Kamp Vught I learnt how Jews live in Nazis time.

They show us the place where they live. In a hut live about 230 persons I think. In the hut they had a little toilet where they talk, write letters etc. because it was the only site that they had privacy. They also had a site to wash themselves another to have fun and another to sleep.

They also show us the crematory where they burnt the die bodies. In the camp we also saw three monuments in memory of the persons how die.

One of the story that they tell us was that the children were an annoying load so they said to their parents that theirs children went to a special camp for they but they all went to the gas chambers. In this action 1800 children died. One of this children died with only 6 days of live because he born three months before so he didn’t had a god health so Nazis took care of the baby and when he was okay he went to a gas chambers
