Great puzzle. A truly dark part of our history that is beyond understanding.

Beyond understanding... but so important to accept that it did happen and conceivably could again. There was a great documentary about the Holocaust that aired on the History channel and it's still available on Netflix.

I know what you mean Sarah.
I myself am a descendant of the "purple triangles" and my wife and I have visited quite a number of these exhibitions in several countries. It is good to remember these things, so that many want to never let it happen again.

I will be going to see this same Memorial in May. The Holocaust Memorial in Boston is unique and sad. If you get a chance to be in Boston, check it out. Because April 8th is the Holocaust Remembrance Day there are lots and lots of articles out right now. Try reading the non-fiction for more accurate information before you go.

Even though it is horribly sad and points out the evils human beings are capable of, I think you will be glad you went. To know what the holocaust was is different from experiencing what you will at the museum. Take a box of kleenex. Remembering these awful things is important, as Freek said. If we don't remember, it could happen again.

Man's inhumanity to man will always be with us.. Though, for now, on a smaller scale. Look at some of the African countries. The human smuggling for sex slaves. And so on...

No, Karl, I did not need to google it because I didn't know what it was. I googled for inspiration. I couldn't try to do a version of the pictures I found there because it would have broken my heart even more.

Teresa, do you know what that documentary was called? I'd like to watch it.

Thank you, Brian

Sarah you are going to have the experience of your life! When I went they gave me a passport book of one of the victims, as I entered the museum, so as I walked thru it I could "live" the specifics of that person. I also was accompanied by a cousin, a survivor himself and could really feel him relive the horror.
Save time to stay around at the end and watch the documentary interview of survivors. Don't forget to tell me about your experience, please.

Thank you, Jota. I will definitely tell you about my experience.

Sorry for the delay in responding Sarah, i didn't keep up with the discussion. The documentary is Auschwitz, Inside the Nazi State. I think it's a 6 part series.

Thank you :)

Thank you. Some of my family was killed. I was working at an archaeological dig in Kamyanets-Podilski some years ago, we accidentally found a mass grave from the holocaust, they were ethnic Armenians. The full extent of the mass murder is still not all known, millions from many ethnic groups were killed.

In 1973 (yup, that long ago) I was on a study tour of Europe with my college department. We had some free time in every city we were in. The last scheduled city was 4 days in Berlin, then 10 free days, then meet the plane in Amsterdam.

The pertinent part: I took a train from Berlin to the Dachau Memorial. It was stunning, crushing, painful to imagine fellow human beings could view other human beings that way. ("That way"? I can't find words encompassing enough.)

And for a lift: Given that it was 1973, most of us made a point of getting to Amsterdam several days before our flight. Y'know what I mean?

Did Sarah ever report on her trip to the museum, if not here then in another forum?
