I am always in love with your pages but your journaling was the best part. So touching and reminding all of us of how many lives were lost. What a powerful trip it must have been for you. Fabulous page!
I am so glad you scrapped this. It is so important to scrap the good with the bad and you are right this is such a huge stain on our history. Thank you, your journalling is heartfelt and so personal.
Beautifully done, and love the idea of using postcards. What an amazing place to visit
as sad and heartbreaking as it is. Your tribute and journaling is so heartfelt.
Wonderful pics to scrap and nice design! Love that punched trim along the bottom, I love to see older things used as it reminds me to pull them out and use them as well!!
love the pictures--I did not make it here, though dh had been there. Every year I take my junior history students to the one in DC and have been to Dachau--a life changing experience. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I can relate... I visited the concentration camp, Dachau in southern Germany when I was 16. Took a couple pictures and then just didn't have the emotional ability to take more. The images are still in my head anyway. Beautiful page for these post cards and love your titlework!
Wow I teared up reading your journaling. Brilliant idea to use postcards - I agree. I always feel strange taking photo's in area's like that. Beautiful journaling.
I felt the same way in the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC. You did a wonderful job on this LO with the postcards. It is elegant and a heart-felt tribute to the memory of so many that lost their lives. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Wow. That sounds like it was really intense, but beautiful too. Its important to remember. I am so glad you got the post cards instead. I do that on my trips sometimes, too. Post cards are nice because it might have been hard to get a good picture in there anyway. Now you have the best possible picture w/o worrying about being disrespectful. Great job.
Those postcards are outstanding and i understand why you wouldn't take pictures. I applaud you for including so much journaling. I almost cried while reading it.
Postcards from the Holocaust museum we visited in Jerusalem. It was a very somber place and I didn't feel like taking photos so I bought these postcards from the gift shop so that I could still scrapbook this very moving event.
Journaling reads "Our next stop was at the Yad Veshem Holocaust museum in Jerusalem. We spent a few hours there, taking in the history of the Jewish people and remembering the horrors and injustices that were done to them during World War II. It was very moving, especially seeing the room with the names of all the known people who died during the Holocaust. Row upon row of books filled with pages after page of names in a room 2 stories high...it really hit home just how many lives perished in that awful stain on our history. There was also a memorial set up for all the children who died during the Holocaust. It was a set of three lights that were reflected around the room by mirrors, making hundreds upon hundreds of lights. The room was completely dark and silent, except for a voice reading the names of the children who had died, with their country of birth and their ages. That was probably the most heart-wrenching part of the whole things. Innocent children who hadn't done anything to hurt anyone were murdered just because of who they were by birth. It was awful. Afterwards, we all just spent some time processing all that we had seen and heard and remembering those who had died."
Completed for the March Page Maps challenge - sketch #5.
The large Star of David and the title were cut out of double-sided adhesive sheets from Silhouette. I then poured embossing powder over them and heat set it to give the gold effect.
