The Holocaust

There's a new way that teachers are having their students learn about the horrors of the Holocaust - through comic books. In other news in regards to the Jews during World War II, a burnt diary has been found, highlighting the horrors of the Warsaw Ghetto.

Also, there are a few bits of Anne Frank news of late:
1) There's a new photo exhibit, her father being the photographer.
2) A photo has surfaced, and is now on display, of Peter Schiff, Anne Frank's one true love.
3) Protests continue to mount in regards to the Anne Frank Musical that's having its world premiere in Madrid.

Having just returned from Paris, I must say I don't think there's a museum that has hit me more powerfully than the Memorial de la Shoah. I also visited the Memorial de la Deportation (pictured above), a small memorial on the tip of Ile de la Cite. It's a memorial to the 200,000 people deported from Vichy France to Nazi concentration camps. Somber, to be sure. More somber knowing that the site of the memorial is on the site of a former morgue.
