A Sombering Moment (Boston - part 5)

I knew we were planning to spend the day in Boston, so I did some research on things to do in Boston.  One of the things I happened upon was the New England Holocaut Memorial.   I can't even describe the experience - moving, shocking, unbelievable...I don't know exactly.

There were 6 glass towers - one for each concentration camp.  There were 6 million numbers on the towers, collectively.  The numbers represented the number tattoo that each person received upon entering the camp.

On the bottom panes, there were some heart-wrenching quotes, which were etched in black.  Unfortunately, it was very hard to get a decent picture. 

I Googled the some of the quotes for you to read.

         




 I left there teary eyed.  I was so incredibly thankful that I have never experienced anything even remotely close to the Holocaust.
