As I walked towards the entrance of the holocaust museum thinking I was prepared to experience the events of such catastrophic event soon I learned that it was definitely not the case. The first thing that I saw was one of the few scrolls to survive the fury of the Nazi fires when they tried to extinguish the beliefs of the Jews. All the pictures on the walls of people living their life right before Adolf Hitler came into power were so happy, displaying people with feelings and family and love and a beautiful culture to offer the world.
