Someday I'll travel to the Washington DC one. And my kids will go with me. <br />We're studying American history right now, currently at the first World War.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399663278970048427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34359942.post-7698651090353786992010-04-11T22:12:11.237-07:002010-04-11T22:12:11.237-07:00I was about to turn in for the night (yeah, past m...I was about to turn in for the night (yeah, past midnight) and then I saw that you posted!! Woooo, had to stop and read.<br />First, let me say that you were an amazing reader and writer at the tender age of 12!!<br />Next I feel the same way...just that we MUST NOT FORGET. I feel the draw, the urge to read, understand, learn, and remind others. If people don't know, it could happen again. (shudder) People need to see and understand the pain, the sin, the beyond-description-horrible conditions...<br />Eisenhower said that he himself would not have been able to believe such conditions existed if he had not seen it with his own eyes. He ordered all American troops to visit the camps, after they were discovered and stopped. He paid for American journalists to come in, write about, photgraph the Truth. <br />I just bought a new book about it, ironically. I'll get back to you with the title when I locate it again. Think I left it in the van earlier today.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399663278970048427noreply@blogger.com
