I don’t know how often I have seen this picture but it is today it finally broke my heart. I sat down and looked at it for a few minutes. Where before I only saw an woman, probably an elderly woman and 3 children walking towards the gas chambers. What is so utterly disturbing about…

The aspect I find hardest to reconcile is the Holocaust’s horrific assault on children—the calculated murder of innocents. It’s an atrocity I will never fully comprehend.
