We visited the Holocaust Memorial Museum while in D.C.  Jeff visited a similar museum in Israel when he was there back in the 60s.

They didn’t allow photography so we don’t have any pictures to attach, and their website  (http://www.ushmm.org/)doesn’t have a lot of pictures either.  It was a very sobering experience to visit this museum.

There are lots of videos and photos of events that happened during the holocaust.  People being herded into the cattle cars, pictures of survivors.  There’s one gallery that is two-stories high completely filled with photos of people and families that all perished in the holocaust.

They have lots of taped interviews with survivors and also collaborators as they tell their stories.
