Good for Ray. And good for not allowing himself to be typecast.
Not meant to be flippant, but let's say you're on vacation in Poland and go visit Auschwitz. What do you do afterwards? I can't imagine you just wash that off and go eat. That's gotta stay with you awhile.
Being of Lithuanian descent, I've often thought of heading over there for a vacation and catching Poland as well. And honestly, I think if I'm there I'd have to go visit Auschwitz. Which is a big reason why I've never gone. I don't think I'd handle it well.
