The children's shoes exhibit in Israel is where I lost it. I was profoundly impacted that day. I remember years after that having a really annoying day. I picked up a picture book written by Elie Weisel to remind myself how insignificant my day was. ~Peace

Yes. Between the visual of those tiny shoes and my imagination conjuring up the images in my mind of the children whose feet had been in them, only to have the shoes removed before toddling into the chambers and their deaths, and THEN the smell of the shoes hit me. It truly almost knocked me to the ground. It was the smell of evil incarnate. There was not a doubt in my mind about that.
