Irish Famine Memorial

Sherry Felix10 Comments

In 2001, I worked at One Financial Center. I passed by the Irish Hunger Memorial on my way to work. When it was foggy or raining it reminded me of the British Isles.

I edited th old unedited photo. Here is the before and after.

We went to see the intense exhibit on Auschwitz and the holocaust at the Museum of Jewish Heritage last week.

These photographs were taken outside the museum.
