Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum

After lunch at a Kibbutz we went to the Holocaust museum. It is impossible to have any understanding of the Jewish people without immersing yourself in the tragedy of the Holocaust. The sites, sounds, and testimonies of many who survived the Holocaust overwhelms the mind and heart with the deepest sadness. I walked out of the museum with a sense of guilt and remorse, because the entire world, all of mankind contributed to this horrifying tragedy. If the world had not stood idly by it could not have happened.
