Jerusalem-Yad Vashem

When we woke up we knew today would be different. We knew it would be somber, reflective, heavy…we were heading to Yad Vahsem the Holocaust museum in Jerusalem. How do you prepare for this visit. It is not a trip you are excited about or even one that you want to see, be we all knew it was a place we HAD to see. We must always remember! Six million Jews we executed by a twisted man consumed with hate and pride. How can you wrap your head around 6 million people murdered. When the United States was attacked on that tragic morning of September 11, 2001 we all held our breath as the death total grew. By the time we finished counting the dead 2,976 American’s had lost their lives. Our response a war that continues to rage today. 6 million Jewish people dead. What is our response? What should it be? Those were some of the many questions we wrestled with today. It was a day that we won’t soon forget and I pray we never do.
