The Importance of Remembering

Yad Veshem, literally a "memorial of the names," is the Holocaust Meseum in Israel. These are a couple of pictures from the outside of the Museum: One is a Biblical quote on an archway leading to the Meseum. Another is simply a sign, Yad Veshem. And the last is a sculpture of a man who did much to save the children victims of the Holocaust. I'll have to find out his name and country of origin at a later time. The directors of the Meseum request that no pictures be taken inside, so I repspected their request. The inside of the Meseum really is quite moving. The rest of the pictures come from Har Herzl (Mount Herzl). Har Herzl is a "very nice" grave site where there are burried many political leaders (including Golde Meyer) and many soldiers. Here, the tomb of Herzl himself, one of the first British visionaries to voice his favor of a Jewish State. The other picture...just pretty.
