There was one man who used to sit up at the bar on his own and rarely spoke. One night he told my husband and me that at 18yrs old he was in the group that drove through the gates of Auschwitz Concentration Camp as part of the liberation of the camp and he had never been able to forget the people that met them. It had been a continual nightmare for him.

I went to the UTube site too. They should lend this to the Eisenhower Recreational Center so more people could see it. The Korean War Memorial in DC has quite an impact when you see it in person especially when you see it surrounded by what looked like Japanese tourists with umbrellas in the rain. It is kind of a tactile experience even if you are not touching the sculptures.
