I refuse to look and not feel with these photos for fear of dulling my own sense of horror. So, editing them was emotionally draining. Yet it is so important to remember.<br />Have you been--or do you go to Germany close as you are? I came away with a deep respect for the honest way they present and claim this part of their history. It is not minimized I think because of the understanding that they never want to return to an experience like this again.Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485338098212307793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330030209576515508.post-9128931978805902612016-05-17T10:20:23.142-05:002016-05-17T10:20:23.142-05:00Something about our own political process at prese...Something about our own political process at present made me feel like now was the moment I needed to share.Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485338098212307793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330030209576515508.post-51159755473631570372016-05-17T10:19:33.566-05:002016-05-17T10:19:33.566-05:00It is amazing how the world has shrunk with the ad...It is amazing how the world has shrunk with the advent of the internet.

My mind never fails to be boggled by the length and breadth and depth of cruelty one human can display towards another, often for the most arbitrary of reasons. Well done you (and your husband) for being mentors - that's such a big deal and I'm sure you'll do really well.Lizzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17480448062269641320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330030209576515508.post-16138869139160190542016-05-16T12:40:59.276-05:002016-05-16T12:40:59.276-05:00Absolutely Amen.

I was unprepared for the effect it would have on me. Something about being in the physical space where such horror happened made it real in a way that a book or film never did. I was surprised by how small the ovens were. Somehow, it was that that affected me most.
