Don’t keep your comments to yourself

When we started this blog in 2008, our hope was to share glorious insights and meaningful experiences from our visitors. Comments come to us in many forms. There is a printed comment card that one can fill out, a place on the web where you can drop us an e-mail, a comment kiosk where visitors can add their messages in a book, and for younger visitors there are cards and colored pencils with the invitation to draw a picture or write a message.

Some comments reflect a sober tone: “Thank you for this experience. Sometimes one needs to go far from home to connect to one’s history.”

Others are more hopeful: “My knowledge was limited about religions and world struggles. But thanks to this Museum, I am now an advocate on the matter.”

Others reveal a lighter mood: “Jews rock.”

But we received a card this week that Liz, our director of education, reported on in a meeting. In red colored pencil it says:

“I[sic] gave me a headache, but I appreciate Jews more.”

We’ve all had a pretty good laugh over this one.
