WWII and the Holocaust

Hall of Remembrance, the names of those who perished in WWII are generated on the wall, first as a small dot, then enlarged, then they disappear. To see the entire list you would have to stand by the wall for several years.  I have no words.

This photo was not translated. . . the date was 1981.

Joseph Bau's exhibit "Holocaust through Prisoner's Eyes"

This was an incredibly well done and dare I say hopeful museum of the Jewish people in Russia. World War II, the Holocaust and the Soviet time period was dealt with in a matter of fact but not unduly gruesome way. You toured the museum on a chronological  path, so the time after the fall of communism to current time is the section we mostly missed. We spent several hours and could have stayed longer had it not been supper time.  It was a largely interactive museum.  Many, most? of the exhibits were translated into English or had English captions.  The docents were helpful and spoke English as well.  I can see us returning to this museum again.
