But I've read articles in the last few years, talking about the growing dissatisfaction in Germany's political and economic circumstances, rumblings and whispers of anti-Semitism and anti-Islamic sentiment, underground racists circumventing the laws against such rhetoric, an evil and festering wound just below the surface. It's frightening that in a country where evidence of such evil is available for all, that anyone would harbor such distasteful ideas - such wickedness, such malevolence. It's sad. It's terrifying.Elizabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1381393706912671861.post-41152211097475878762011-01-08T13:55:23.602-05:002011-01-08T13:55:23.602-05:00I still don't know if I will have time to go t...I still don't know if I will have time to go to the one in Boston.

It is humbling and sad and shameful and honoring all at the same time. The immediate scene are glass towers, one for each of the concentration camps with prisoner numbers etched on them. So many numbers. The Holocaust Museum in DC left me that same way. The pictures, oh the pictures. The one that brought me to my knees was of all the children's items: stuffed animals, shoes, bits of clothing. It took days to stop trembling and I still feel the raw emotion of the exhibits. But, it is important to experience this. Because the sign is right, it must never happen again.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12600572945417898619noreply@blogger.com
