I'd never noticed this until today.....
I didn't even know it was there till I saw him
looking through the barbed wire at me from across the park.

That this memorial exists in the city pleases me, but that so few know of it has just the opposite effect. In a city that espouses tolerance of all, and that has become a haven for so many that the Nazi movement would have seen expunged from existance, this is a needed reminder of what depravity our species is capable of.

powerful powerful stuff - and that he is just standing there - with no visible label till you are right on top of it -

unbelievable.

Roughly 10 years ago, I was going back east to visit family and I made a detour to Washington DC specifically to visit the Holocost Museum. It's an important experience for anyone who's visiting the east, though I would caution you not to go see it alone.

I spent an entire day there with my ex partner Jon (the good ex in Idaho) in 2004. it's breathtaking from the very first 'elevator' ride.

I love the double (or triple) meaning of your title.
