Israel remembers...

Israel marks today Holocaust Memorial Day. 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.

Along with others who never knew this particular place existed, I am awed. If I knew all of their names, I would unfortunately find thirty-one pictures of my past family members among the millions posted. Thanks for posting this shot. It really gives one the feeling that it goes on and on and on... R
