I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at this one. Very nice. Am definitely looking forward to reading the book about diamonds!

A chilling but wonderful story! It’s true, all the Jewish museums in Germany do seem to be Holocaust museums. . .but wouldn’t a museum that acknowledges German Jews w/o the Holocaust be criticized for denying the history? It’s good that you came and would also come back, the Germans have more than repented for their sins . . .hence all the Holocaust museums.
