A Little Light Reading

Last night when I went in to say goodnight to Ryan I found him reading a book that he had gotten from the library on the Holocaust. How is that for a little light reading at bedtime. The page he was on had the famous picture of the piles of shoes. Ryan does have a great interest in WWII (mostly from the Call of Duty video games, but whatever gets you to learn), but this Holocaust interest was new. When I asked him about it, he said that on Gene Simmons Family Jewels they went to the Anne Frank house because Gene's mother was a Holocaust survivor. Who knew you could learn from Family Jewels? Ryan and I discussed the Holocaust a little and he spoke with such intelligence and empathy that I was really impressed. Then he asked if we could take a cruise to Poland and visit a death camp on an excursion. I told him no, but there was a museum in Washington, DC that we might be able to visit one day.
