Washington D.C. March 2011 - Holocaust Museum




This was a difficult experience. Shocking, disturbing, horrifying are just a few words to describe what I saw at this place. When I asked my cousin Leo, who lives in D.C, if he wanted to come with us he said, "Everyone should see the Holocaust Museum once. I've already seen it once and I don't want to be depressed the rest of the week." We ended up meeting for lunch after Pete and I did the tour of the museum.

Particulary
affecting was walking through a room full of shoes of holocaust victims and walking through a train car that had carried people to the camps for extermination. It was set up that you had to walk through these things to continue on the tour.
