In one of the videos shown, the US President basically said the Holocaust was the Jews problem, not Americans’. I was shocked! Especially since we are always getting involved in problems the underdogs of the world have against bully nations. Was he afraid of Hitler?
Mostly the crowd was very somber as we all wandered through the 3 exhibit floors. It is hard to believe someone (Hitler) could be so evil! “Though most Americans sympathized with the plight of European Jews, that sympathy did not translate into a concerted nationwide effort to assist refugees or rescue the victims of Nazism.”

We headed to the Museum Cafe in a separate building for a snack before we headed to the Carriage House where we would stay the next couple of days in Pennsylvania.
