I know I'm late but I think I can still make my pacific coast deadline. I went to the Holocaust museum today. It was a good closure to my desire for a conversation about the subject. As some of you might know I recently finished reading Survival.
The impact of the book was so great that I've been wanting to talk about it and reflect on it for about two months now.
I've always been fascinated about the Holocaust because to me the actions taken by the Nazis seem so inhumane that I couldn't wrap my head around why humanity is often times so cruel. Magda's book added a twist to it because she told it from a female perspective. By doing this she magnified the psychological humiliation that these innocent people suffered.
I'm simply at a lost of words. But thankful that I got to see the things that up until a few months ago, I only read about.

Every time I go to the Holocaust Museum I bawl my eyes out. I think that's the way it should be. I have an amazing story about that place I need to tell you sometime.
