Thank you for your honest, personal, and moving writing. It’s so hard to remember that we are part of the larger world. That history, even if it did not happen to us, history still shaped us.
I’m turning 60 this week and I’ve lived through so much. But as a white woman, I am learning how much history still affects what I think. But even more, how I react when I’m not thinking, we are never beyond that, we do not out grow it. I’m learning to look deeper inside, ask why and how and take the time.
So thank you Ray for reminding me.
It has to be very moving and difficult trip to see the camp. I am inspired that Ray went and suggest that Ray visit Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. After taking in everything in the history museum, the visitor exits in a place that overlooks the Jerusalem hills and that view is very moving.
