In Majdanek: One barrack. 200,000 shoes.


On Tisha B'Av, we remove our shoes as a sign of mourning. Inside one of the prisoner barracks at Majdanek concentration camp, Rabbi Salomon really gives us something to think about. (There is no narration for the first 20 seconds.)

YAAKOV SALOMON'S NEW BOOK, SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Some people are funny. Some are insightful. Some are cynical. Some find a humorous touch in everything. Others find irony. Some write beautifully. Few people do them all as well as Rabbi Yaakov Salomon does. Entertaining, inspiring, astute, he has the uncommon ability to look something to give us pause and make us think. His new book, Something to Think About , gives us just that -- with a healthy dose of wit and charm. Click here to order.
