The Ghetto Uprising Museum in the northern part of Israel is worthy of the 2 hour trip. For over 100 years, a Zionist movement existed throughout Europe and after WW2, a group of survivors moved to Israel and started a kibbutz and the first museum dedicated to the Holocaust. In the dark reflection room, we find an enormous screen with letters bubbling up from the bottom. The letters slowly form names of communitites that were wiped out druing the Shoah. The names hover in space for a moment and dissipate letter by letter. We were completely mesmerized and sat in silence for quite a while. Very somber and very moving.
