I've posted this photo last year on Holocaust Memorial Day. I decided to re-post it mainly for the members that joined AW since. *********************** The photo was taken in Jerusalem (Israel) in The Hall of Names at Yad Vashem, which is the Jewish People's memorial to each and every Jew who perished in the Holocaust - a place where they may be commemorated for generations to come. The main circular hall houses the extensive collection of Pages of Testimony - short biographies of each Holocaust victim. Over two million Pages are stored in the circular repository around the outer edge of the Hall, with room for six million in all. The ceiling of the Hall is composed of a ten-meter high cone reaching skywards, displaying 600 photographs and fragments of Pages of Testimony. This exhibit represents a fraction of the murdered six million men, women and children from the diverse Jewish world destroyed by the Nazis and their accomplices. ************************ Thanks for viewing and for your kind attention.

tHANKS for re-posting..so very powerful and a great reminder!Minnie Shuler 01 May 2008
Yes it is sad and a great help for us to remember the cruelty that can exist in the heart of man. It is sad that they were killed and it is sad that the people who killed and mamed them seemed to never regret their own evil so that they could repent and change perhaps making restitution for what they did. There really is no restitution for taking another life though.Warren Ballard 01 May 2008
