@auschwitzmuseum As long as I live, I will never forget the sight of the room filled with shoes. Please help preserve this essential part of the Auschwitz Memorial.

@auschwitzmuseum @LisaIannucci every time I look at pictures like this I cant help but wonder just how many rooms full of shoes America already has. Shoes of refugees and asylum seekers. Shoes of entire families who were fleeing violence and despair in their own countries.
Looking at Germany's past is like looking at America's future/present.
I guess that was the whole point of never forgetting...never repeating it again. But here we are once again. Repeating everything all over again

@auschwitzmuseum Yes indeed. I visited the Museum many years ago, but there is always something to be learned. Thank you.

@LisaIannucci @auschwitzmuseum I went to the Holocaust Museum in DC and there was a room with the shoes as well. I cried. I also cried when they had the cobblestone road of destroyed headstones of Jewish cemeteries.

@LisaIannucci @auschwitzmuseum I had the opportunity to bust the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC a number of years ago. The room with the shoes broke me. Though moved greatly by the museum as a whole, that started the weeping. It still makes me cry thinking about it.

@LisaIannucci @auschwitzmuseum Yes the shoes, the hair the personal items like tooth brushes. I will never forget either.
