Oh my goodness. I am speechless. We visited the Holocaust Museum today, and it is so incredibly extensive. I went through in about two hours; however, I feel as if I could have stayed about 6 hours or more. There was so much to see! Some of the things that really struck me was seeing the journal entries and the artwork of the Jewish people who went to the concentration camps. Some of them were writing right before they were murdered. I honestly couldn’t believe the mass destruction of a people group, and how anyone could ever think that would be “ok.” It breaks my heart to think of the fear the Jews must have lived in.
We also went to sift through rocks searching for archaeological treasures at the Temple Mount Salvage Project. This organization is dedicated to sifting through all the ruins found at Mount Moriah. They have been sifting for the past five years, and are still only about twenty percent through it all. So Gabe and I were joking around that we were going to do another twenty percent in our short afternoon there! However, I am sure they will still be working at this project for many years to come. We had so much fun! Mandy and I found quite a few missing links to civilization from a time long ago. Kaleb and Gabe found a really old Byzantine coin, and that was definitely a big deal. Tonight I called my Dad for his birthday and got to tell him all about my day. Oh, and I video chatted with Michael the other night and that was amazing. Life is beautiful!
