Holocaust Museum

Hi! On Wednesday (I know, I know, I forgot to blog this until now when I found the pictures, I'm sorry) Dad and I went to the Holocaust Museum that's in Budapest. It was...... deep. I learned a lot, and saw a lot, too. It was sad, there were films of what the Holocaust was like and they showed dying people.

But the cool thing was that they had a Synagogue there, connected to the museum. You could take pictures there, too, which was nice! But what really touched me was that they had glass benches and there were the names, pictures and cause of death of all the people that belonged to the synagogue and died in the Holocaust. The saddest one was of a little girl that died when she was only three. The thought alone makes me tear up! I mourn for all those deaths.

I'm actually glad that we went to the museum, for although it was horrible seeing the films of all those starving and dying people I learned a lot and achieved some release. You know, on this trip I have learned a lot about the Holocaust and I think I have started to come to terms with it.
