While in Kielce, Poland we saw a statue of Jan Karski.
After leaving Poland I knew there were 3 others of this same statue. One in Jerusalem, 1 in NYC and 1 in Washigton D.C. When in D.C. over the summer we forgot to go find the statue. But I remembered when I went to NYC last weekend! The statue was outside the Polish Consulate...
We saw lots of other things in NYC, like the 9/11 Memorial. My parents had already been to the Memorial in September and listening to my mom describe her experience it reminded me of the things I thought and felt while at Auschwitz. Being there was different though... even thought I'll never forget 9/11 and watching the Twin Towers fall, it just didn't have the same impact for me.
An of course I went to the top of the Empire State building! (By myself, too, everyone else was chicken and said it would be too cold!)
