The Holocaust and travels
I’ve never even been to the holocaust museum here. But I grew up learning all about the holocaust. All my schools had at least 50% Jews, so holocaust material was a big part of our curriculum. I’ve also known a hand full of survivors and heard stories from them and their children. And I’ve visited Israel many times (because my sister lives there), so I’ve seen the memorials and museums there, too. I’d like to concentrate on more positive aspects of life. About the past, I’d like to see the environs that inspired the authors whom I’ve long admired. You should definitely plan a trip to Prague. It is an amazing city. When I looked around, for the first time I felt “these are my people; these people look like me more than the people anywhere else I’ve been.”
