Reconciliation - A WWII Bombing Of St. Michael's Cathedral

This is a short documentary I made while we were in England. Tell me how the concept of forgiveness like this effects you. It honestly just left me standing in the historical site in silence, my heart broken.
Further history: On November 14 1940, the city of Coventry, England was nearly destroyed by German bombers. 14th century St. Michael's cathedral died amongst all the fire.

On November 14 1990, The Queen Mother attended the Service of Remembrance and Reconciliation at the Cathedral's remains where she exchanged gifts with Richard von Weizsäcker, President of the Federal Republic of Germany, adding to Coventry's commitment to forgiveness and reconciliation.
