Trinket



My husband surprised me with one of these pendants. It is a representation of the dome of the Hall of Remembrance at the US Holocaust Museum in Washington DC. The Hall is one of our favorite places in the Museum. The sacredness of the space draws us.

The card inside the box urged people to wear the pendant in remembrance of all victims of hate and violence. Which, given the work I do, is just perfect.

I think it is all to easy for people to deny how easily we can slip into inhumanity.
