George Will recounts the moving story of how two Holocaust survivors, who lived in the same apartment building in Karlsruhe, Germany 64 years ago, renewed their friendship last year due to the efforts of two New Jersey teenagers and a project sponsored by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. The story prompts Will to reflect on the importance of the “grim sermon in stone” that is the Holocaust Museum.
