<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In Monday we, as a class, all went to the Judisches Museum to experience a journey through the history of the Jewish faith. We were lucky enough to have our own private, guided tour for the first half of our visit. Our guide gave us an in depth look into the years from the creation of the Reich in 1871 to the years leading up to World War 2. His presentation focused on the lives of some of the most influential Jewish people at the time who were each groundbreaking in their own way. He also discussed the feeling of the time of the German Jews wanting to belong to this newly formed empire.<\/p>\n
After the tour we were given an hour and a half to see the rest of the museum on our own. The different exhibits focused on different times in history, yet there was always a chronological theme to them all. Ranging from old books to concrete Windows and from immigrant populations to in depth looks at concentration camps, the plight and success of the German Jewish population, as well as their existence though out history were on display for us to take in.<\/p>\n
One of the most memorable exhibits, for me was the a space called, if I remember correctly, The Void of Sorrow? I looked it up online and the actual name of the presentation was Fallen Leaves. This exhibit consisted of a room with ten thousand metal face plates with eyes and a mouth cut out covering the ground. As you can see in the picture, every step you take is uncomfortable and sends a chill down your spine. The feeling of walking over the faces of thousands of people who suffered was almost too much to bear. One small detail that many people may have overlooked is that the farther in to the corridor of faces you walk, the progressively smaller the faces get. The smallest faces are hidden in complete darkness in the back.<\/p>\n
