Yes, that was a really strong memorial as well. We visited it a couple of times when we lived in Budapest.

This is something that must never be forgotten. I felt the same on our visit to the Shoes on Danube in Budapest. Let’s hope history never ever repeats itself.

Thank you! It was an incredible experience that affected me for days afterward. Hard to write about it. Definitely an important experience for people, though.

You convey just how essential it is for all of us to see it with our own eyes, feel it with our fingers, and know that people have the capacity to commit such terrible crimes against other people.

Absolutely. There is too much danger in complacency.

I have a tips post for visiting there that may be helpful to you. Try not schedule too much else for the rest of the day. It can leave you effected for quite a while.

It definitely adds a strong emotional component.

🙁
