Levant-The Rising: Photographs of Israel-Palestine by Skip Schiel

Exhibit about the ghetto walls in the Holocaust Memorial Museum, Vad Yeshem, Jerusalem

Our delegation came upon a school group with its leader, standing before an exhibit of the Warsaw ghetto wall, showing it being built, possibly by Jews already incarcerated. We were aghast, having days before witnessed the building of the Separation Barrier, also named the Apartheid Wall, convoluting thru Palestinians fields and villages.

Ironic? How explain this eerie resemblance between the Holocaust visited upon the Jews and the Catastrophe heaped upon the Palestinians?
