A Sad Sunday

On Sunday Marissa planned a trip to Yad Vashem which is the Holocaust memorial. We got on the 23 bus and took it for a long time until we reached a forest area. The museum itself was informative though incredibly politically charged and above all depressing. There were moments that made me want to cry because of the many personal stories that were playing on the monitors. The creepiest exhibit by far is the hall of fallen children. The room is pitch black lit by only candles representing all the children who died in the holocaust. I had to hold on to Zach to feel where I was going. Once inside the room a voice continuously calls the names and ages of the children. I am told that soon it will be Holocaust Remembrance Day along with Israeli Independence day.
