As much as 'the Wall' brought home the individuality of war's injustices, the Holocaust museum brought with it the insanity of societies numbed to the obvious truths "that all men are created equal". Here are the names of towns in Europe whose Jewish populations were exterminated or towns whose very existence were terminated during WW II by the Nazi mentality. Inside each of the names of the towns, I could imagine another "Wall" equal to "the Wall" I had visited only one day earlier. ...and I hear the echoes of Durfar's thousands who have such a small voice .........  Posted by Picasa

That wall of town names was one of the exhibits that deeply touched my consciousness. Shivers ran down my spine as I dared to imagine what could be lost if instead of those names etched in glass we read: Mount Vernon, Burlington, Bow, Anacortes.
