Wonderful that you just stumbled on the Holocaust Museum -- and if we get to go to Boston we'll be sure to see it.

The Memorial features six luminous glass towers, each 54 feet high. The towers are lit internally to gleam at night. They are set on a black granite path, each one over a dark chamber which carries the name of one of the principal Nazi death camps. Smoke rises from charred embers at the bottom of these chambers. Six million numbers are etched in glass in an orderly pattern, suggesting the infamous tattooed numbers and ghostly ledgers of the Nazi bureaucracy. Evocative and rich in metaphor, the six towers recall the six main death camps, the six million Jews who died, or a menorah of memorial candles.</i><br /><br />I would love to see it at night. Just imagine the power.clairzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076402619649343527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-47480793121489600062011-10-04T05:27:19.104-06:002011-10-04T05:27:19.104-06:00Michelle, good point.

Easterners tend to think they have all the history, when there were great civilizations thriving out here well before the Pilgrims were gleams in the mother's eyes; and we have a city (Santa Fe) more ancient than they ever thought of being!clairzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076402619649343527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-84012711759730637492011-10-04T00:46:16.426-06:002011-10-04T00:46:16.426-06:00Gotta comment quick...blogger is hating me today! ...Gotta comment quick...blogger is hating me today!
