Touches the Soul!!

Peter_V, Sep 2026

A must experience that touches the soul!! Hearing the story and experiencing the place was a reminder that the brutal inhumanity directed at others under any circumstance, but especially those of opposing viewpoints and from different backgrounds, can never be allowed to happen again.
