I didn’t feel cozy at all. I felt off-balance the whole time. Are you asking how to join the link-up? They close after a week. If you look at the latest one, which is on my Christmas market post https://rachelsruminations.com/christmas-markets-germany/, you’ll see that there’s a little button below the pictures that you can click on to add your link.

I’ve been there quite a few times before because I have family in or near Jerusalem. Passover is particularly special with them!

Next year in Jerusalem! (For the non-Jews reading this, that’s a phrase that finishes the Passover meal, the seder.) And this coming Passover I will be in Jerusalem!

Of course, I HATE why it exists in the first place, but because it is imperative to see and feel the memories. Also to be reminded that anything LIKE The Holocaust must NEVER happen again.

I loved looking at the silverware, and tried to imagine the families eating Sabbath Dinner one night and the next day……..ugh. I also remember being in that room with the closed door and dark grey walls, that simulated what it was like…

Thanks for this post. PS. I have that same photo of the “fallen leaves”

NEVER AGAIN! Next year in Jerusalem:-)

I feel the same way. I often don’t want to go to these sorts of memorials or museums because I’m traveling to have fun. Yet I feel it’s important to remember, to honor. And I also feel it’s important to support the efforts of those who set up and run such places of memory. Especially in Berlin, I didn’t feel like I could ignore either the Holocaust history or the Cold War history.
