Another short trip on the Metro took us to the Smithsonian stop, where we went to the Holocaust Museum. The Holocaust museum is quite a powerful witness to the atrocities hate and bigotry can cause. Upon entering the beginning of the exhibit, you read the following statement from Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower: The things I saw beggar description. I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in a position to give firsthand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to propaganda. I was surprised at the foresight Eisenhower had to recognize that the Holocaust would ever be denied. New additions included an exhibit at the end dedicated to the current circumstances in Darfur, Sudan.
After the museum, we were hungry and our time was winding down, so we headed back to the apartment for some grub and rest. By the time we refueled and rested, it was time to pack up (what little we had). We stopped by Chris and Amber's place for a short visit as Deya and Amber hadn't seen each other since Chris and Amber's wedding.
Unfortunately, our weekend ended as quickly as it began. But we (at least I did) had a good time. Who knows if we will ever have the chance again to just pal around, but it was sure good to hang out with my sister again!
