Auschwitz Memorial

I’m subscribed to the Twitter account of Auschwitz Memorial that posts photos of Jews murdered during the Holocaust. Every time I scroll through my feed and see one of those faces, I jump up because they look like my relatives.

    Empathy. Very good to have (for one’s own people). For others, not so much.

      Full sentences. Very good to write. For oneself and especially for others.

    Cannot bring myself to visit the Shoah memorial in Jerusalem after being there before. Perhaps Nazi dolls ripped to pieces while visiting. I do not know. The memory just makes me angry. Like don’t let me anywhere near the nuclear codes!

      I was at the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, and I almost passed out within the first two minutes. It was a terrible, terrible feeling, like the victims were there with me.

        Clarissa I will not “like” b/c when I left the Shoah museum, felt such rage surge within me. General Sherman, the rapist of the City of Atlanta Georgia during the Civil War, has the famous statement attributed to him: The Only Good Indian – a Dead Indian.

        I went to Yad Vashem near Jerusalem. Most horrifying history lesson I ever experienced.
