Walking through the US Holocaust Memorial was perhaps the hardest thing I've ever had to go through in my life. It made me cry, and even if I tried to hold it in I couldn't. I know about the Holocaust already, but seeing disturbing, graphic videos and photos was something new to me. It felt miserable to see so many people, some of which were undoubtedly related, being slaughtered. It was so terrifying to see these things because this could happen again. The message of the Memorial, though, is to share the stories of the Holocaust so that we never forget.

That must have been very hard to see and deal with, but it is great that you shared it so eloquently.
