\"\"<\/a>Rome is a city that holds a lot of history. Looking back at our trip to Italy, I remember our last day at the University. I have to say, I got really attached to it. We had our final lunch at the cafeteria, and we went back to the hotel to get ready for the day\u2019s activities. We first, saw the actual place where Julius Caesar was assassinated; oddly enough, the city of Rome has now used this site as the dumping ground for all the stray cats that were in the Coliseum. We then went to the Jewish Ghetto. We learned about the people who used to and presently lived there. We learned about why the ghetto had been set up and when. It was really saddening to hear about the anti-Semitism these people continuously went through, not just from WWII times, but MUCH earlier than that (all the way back to the Roman Empire); \u00a0all over a person\u2019s ethnicity and religion. We even stood at the spot where the Nazi\u2019s took away the first of the Jewish people from Rome. On a more positive note though, we also saw more ancient Roman architecture; including the building that is believed to had a great influence in the structure of the Coliseum.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>After walking through the Ghetto, we went to a Jewish Museum\/Synagogues. The guide went through, in more detail, the anti-Semitism that occurred in Rome and Europe. She also went through the lives of a Jewish person in Rome throughout the history of Rome. At the end of the tour, she told us more about Jewish practices, and that\u2019s when she led us to the two different Synagogues that were attached to the Museum. The first one is one she called \u201can average looking\u201d Synagogue. She pointed out, in both Synagogues, some of the artifacts taken from the old Synagogues of the old Jewish Ghetto. She then took us to another that you had to enter from the outside of the building. This Synagogue was much more extravagant looking; it looked more like something you\u2019d expect a catholic church to look like. She explained to us that this Synagogue was made for the people of the Jewish Ghetto after they were given the right to become Italian citizens again. The Synagogues that these people had had before hand was too small, and falling apart. So, to give the Jewish community something new and their own, they built them this extravagant Synagogue (still fully in use). The sight of this Synagogue was amazing. The walls were laced with symbolism, from the paintings made to represent parts of the Torah, to the piece of furniture put in the corner from the old Synagogue to represent the remembrance of what their people had gone through. It was truly touching.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
