I couldn't believe my luck, when I saw this little girl alone at the sculpture . . .

Cool picture.

great picture Jet. I have been to several holocust museums, and just went to Yad Vashem in Jerusalem a couple months ago. They are an interesting experience. It is quite a different feeling then what you would expect, IMO.

Do they have a childrens section in the one in Miami?

Oops, I meant do they have a museum in Miami, along with the memorial?

As far as I know, this is the only memorial . . .

I could be mistaken, though . . .

Here is the slide-show to the photo-set from my visit there . . .

Great shot jet, and awesome slideshow.

Thanks . . .

I had it previously linked to the memorial's web-site ... It would play the same music, that is playing in the Dome of Contemplation . . .

So sad...

Such a beautifully done picture.

I found something interesting on the link in post #9

The address: 1933-1945 Meridian Ave.

That's Interesting, cigarman . . .

Jet,

Thanks for sharing the slideshow, remarkable. When I went to Yad Vashem in Jerusalem they have a children's museum. There are a number got candles and all mirrors to reflect the close to 1 million kids that were killed. As you walk through names of kids murdered are said in several languages along with their age.

Thanks Smashed . . .

I did a search on Flickr, and there's over 4,000 photos on Flickr with the Tag Yad Vashem
