Today is 9/11

Today is 9/11. When I looked at the 9/11 photos on the Time Magazine site -- images of workers sifting through the tons of debris and personal items -- it reminded me of photos from the Holocaust.

144 rings, 437 watches, 119 earrings, 80 bracelets, and boxes full of identification cards. The rest, vaporized into dust, air, memory.
