"I believe that some places are tainted spiritually by the immensity of evil that happened there. Srebrenica is one of them... so's Auschwitz, so's Wounded Knee."

The Dallas Holocaust Museum gives a guided tour of their modern building, explaining everything that they can about what happened in Europe. But at one point, the guide stopped us in a dimly lit area and asked us to think about all that we'd just seen.

Everyone in the tour group started fidgeting. Everyone became uncomfortable. The air chilled. You could begin to smell...something.

Then the guide turned the lights up. We were all standing in one of the boxcars that took the Jews to the ovens. The guide then explained that people could "tell" that they were in a place where terrible things had occurred, even with the lights dimmed.

It was a very powerful experience. It's a good tour. I recommend it.

I stood in a mass grave south of Srebrenica in Bosnia.

I still have nightmares, not of what I saw, but of their executions. I can't explain it, but I'd bet any money that my recurring nightmare is accurate in all details.

Been there and I would agree.

I went to the Holocaust Museum in DC.

I wouldn't go in the boxcar. I'll never get herded into a boxcar....
