We left Yaacov and headed to the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial. I've been to the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. and I've been to Dachau. I was really not looking forward to this experience. Here you see pictured the front of the museum and me as I've come out the other side. It's always an excrutiatingly painful thing to see what we human beings can do to one another. The insight or the realization that was particularly palpable to me on this trip was the sheer numbers of people whose lives were lost or brutalized through the horror of the Shoah. May we never forget and may we always work to stop injustice such as this no matter what the cost to ourselves.
