Holocaust Memorial Museum

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out---
      Because I was not a socialist.


Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out---
     Because I was not a trade unionist.


Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--- 
     Because I was not a Jew.


Then they came for me---
     and there was no one left to speak for me.

Today I visited the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.  It is impossible to describe the Exhibition.  You move through three floors starting at the top: Nazi Assault--1933 to 1939; the middle floor, The "Final Solution"--1940 to 1945; and the final floor, Last Chapter.  I will never forget the sights, sounds, smells, and feels.  I pray that the world never forgets.
