It seems to me that this is the kind of museum we need at Ground Zero.
Anne Frank’s house inspires 9/11 museum
At the second-floor museum in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, visitors are met by three-dimensional displays of photographs that pull the viewer close to the terror, dirt, sweat — and death.
Suson took one of the first photos of the firefighter honor guard that carried remains as they were found. He shot the scene in close-up, as he did other moments, such as a firefighter helping carry out the remains of his own son.
Last year, Suson went to Amsterdam, Netherlands, and visited the home of Anne Frank, the Jewish teenager who wrote a diary of her life before the Nazis sent her to the Bergen Belsen death camp.
“Within two hours of being in there, I felt like I’d come to know this little girl. It put a face on the Holocaust,” said the 33-year-old Suson. “I went back to the hotel and cried.”
I want people to cry when they go to Ground Zero and then think about the monsters that caused such mindless death and destruction.
We do not need George Soros' International Freedom Center.
Take Back the Memorial! I've signed the petition.
