while my parents were in town this past week, we took a trip to the holocaust museum downtown. steven and i had been to the one on DC, which is huge, so he wasn't too disappointed that we went without him while he was still in atlanta. the museum in DC has a very solemn, reverent, yet eerie feeling there. it is very graphic and an emotional experience. the museum in dallas is very small, yet the impact is the same. they had a video at the end playing with interviews of holocaust survivors, which was filmed years ago. many of the survivors have since passed. some of the stories these holocaust victims told were incredible. i can't believe the things that were done to innocent people. it is incredible the power one person can have over thousands of others, and in turn, those thousands of people can ruin so many lives.
when we had finished and walked back into the lobby, mike jacobs, founder of the dallas holocaust museum and holocaust survivor, was signing his book. it was neat to be able to shake his hand. there are some truly amazing people in this world with the ability to remain positive even through the darkest times. very inspiring.
if you're ever in dallas, or in dc
because that one is huge and awesome,
visit the holocaust museum.
*that is the only picture we took
for obvious reasons. although,
i do wish we took a picture
with mike jacobs.
