I went to the red cross headquarters in geneva today. It wasn't because im a stranger to the country, but a school field trip :P. It is a serious eye opener on many issues in the world. stupid me, i forgot to take my camera. Nonetheless, there were two things that caught my attention. As soon as you go into the museum, the passage changes into two concrete walls on your right and left hand side to about 12 meters high, and with a distance of 4 meters between them. The walls are supposed to resemble the walls put up around the world between countries (israel and palestine) as an example. After you pass that passage, you are welcomed by the sculptures (above). its of real life size figures of men with their faces wrapped (resembling the fact that they cannot see or act), and their hands tied behind their backs. The whole courtyard is glass so you can see the crescent and the cross along with those figures. The second thing that shocked me was a room built out of concrete bricks, about 3x2 meters, that once held 17 men captive, some for as long as 3 months. honestly take a second and thank whoever you believe in for how good you live, no matter how bad you think it is.
