One of the must visit places in London is probably the "Imperial War Museum". The building itself, with a helmet shaped top, reminds you of English soldiers. You are impressed by the beautiful view of old airplanes from first and second world wars in the main hall. But, I think the most moving and heart breaking part of the museum is the "holocaust exhibition". This section has a very accurate and step by step design, starting with the rise of Hitler and Nazism and takes you little by little to the tragic massacre of Jews. Everything seems to be based on history and you are presented with real documents of those times. However, I did not encounter any mention of Mr Schindler the heroic German savior of a large number of Jews at those times. I witnessed a woman, one of visitors, weeping looking at some documentary films and photographs displayed in the exhibition. I have no idea how a human being comes to the decision that a race or particular group should be killed, and in such brutal ways. The sad truth is, there are still people who are killed basically because of their belief and their race.
