Tears of wonder

Today, as I walked through the Jewish museum here in Vienna, I well up in tears. The overwhelming knowledge that is available in this city brings me to my knees. In that same museum, I saw the gut wrenching uncut yellow stars stating "JUDE" on them, and in the same museum I see the exact musical score Wagner took notes on of his performance. 

Next museum, of historical instruments, I'm reduced to puddles seeing instruments Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, and Haydn performed on for big audiences and a small amount of guests.

You must come to Vienna. All of you.
