United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Washington DC

Posting one picture of what my son and I look like outside of the museum. As soon as I opened the doors, even prior to security...the feeling overtook me. I cried immediately and through the entire tour. You must come and experience the shoes. I am not posting alot of pics especially of the shoes out of respect. You must come visit the shoes before you pass.

A must visit exhibit if in DC. A harrowing experience that teaches you like never before the consequences of overlooking and allowing hate to spread in the world and politicians using fear as a tool. It starts with them giving you a leaflet of a person who went through the Holocaust. It is the world's second largest holocaust exhibit after the one in Israel. It starts with the history of Hitler's rise, his initial actions that led to the Holocaust and his other crimes such as killing the disabled and challenged. The exhibit also showcases the brave who risked it all to save those suffering and the people who tried to suppress them. There was a also an exhibit about the current torture of Rohingya Muslims in Burma.
