Yad VaShem

Today visited Yad VaShem, the Holocaust Memorial.  It's an architecturally stunning set of new (2005) buildings on Mount Hertzl, just outside Jerusalem.  As you would expect, it has a very powerful emotional pull and is very sad.  It tries (and succeeds) in humanising the holocaust by telling individual stories among the greater horrors.
