I know what you mean… we need to have hearts that are prepared to respond in the face of similar circumstances.Mamajo – I didn’t know there was a Holocaust museum in LA. I’ve been to the one in DC. I cried the whole way through. It is just so unfathomable.

We must never forget. I’ve met a few survivors (some like to talk about it, others don’t). If you’ve never been to one of the Holocaust museums, I would encourage you to go. I’ve been to the one in Israel, Trav’s been to the one in L.A. and Jamie’s been to the one in D.C. There really aren’t words for the experience. The actors from Freedom Writers said they didn’t even have to act during the scenes at the museum. Their crying was real.

It was similar in that they repeatedly interviewed the same survivors throughout, but it highlights Dr. Mengele who did the death selections and “medical” experiments on the twins, etc. Very sobering, especially as Thanksgiving rolls around! I kept raging to Scott, “where was the rest of the world while this was going on!?” =(
