Reply To: Yad Vashem- Have you been?

I haven’t been to Y”vSH in over thirty seven years, but from my recollection it was a very different type of experience than going to the one in Washington, D.C. D.C. is, to my recollection, an unbelievably REAL experience, with the videos, the “house” experience, the constant visuals. When you see a pile of shoes yea high, and realize that they were actually worn by people who were systematically murdered en masse, it connects you in a way that pictures and plaques do not. As I said, I have not been there (or to E”Y) in a few decades, but this is my recollection from that time. Both experiences are horrific, and we are merely VISITORS. People actually lived and died through that horror, and that is what I can never wrap my mind around.
