| This memorial, dark and lit by a single, everlasting flame, lists the concentration/extermination camps. |
 |
| Inna and Daniel look thoughtfully at the memorial. |
 |
| Next stop was a couple sculptures in the courtyard. This one portrays the Jews going into "exile", perhaps lef to their deaths. The bearded man in the middle is holding a Torah, and seems to exude strength and hope. |
 |
| This sculpture is about the Resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto. Starving and weak, they nonetheless stood up to their German oppressors, but it was too late... |
 |
| This is an actual cattle car used to transport Jews to their final destination. There is only one other in existence today. It is displayed here on a bridge to nowhere. |
 |
| We all sat nearby, and heard about the experiences of some survivors of the terrible journey on the trains. |
 |
| Yael played a tape of a song about the last Jews in the Warsaw ghetto. |
 |
| Afterwards, we entered the museum, which takes us through the history of anti-semitism and the German oppression and Holocaust. |
 |
| Dina and the Berzanskys look at a scale model of a concentration camp. |
 |
| Next was Mt. Herzl, the cemetery of Israel's most famous modern personages, where Daniel, Karen, and Dina, along with everyone else, enjoyed lunch. |
 |
| A menorah logo and the words "Har Herzl" in Hebrew grace the entrance to the cemetery. |
 |
| Here are the final resting places of Prime Minsiter Yitzhak Rabin and his wife, Leah. |
