I looked also at the children's drawings. Terrible times. Soon I'll start to read a fiction by Italian Rosella Postorino. It tells about a Jewish woman Rosa who becomes Hitler's food taster. The food could be poisoned... Don't know yet how the book is.<br /><br />Your photos are beautiful.

I am glad that the children's artwork was preserved and that so many artifacts were gathered. Such a dark time of history, and yet it's important to know.

I am so happy to return with you for a wander in Prague, a most wonderful city which you show off so well. The trip to the Divoka Sarka is a new destination for me so I am happy to discover this through your eyes.

Yours is the second post I have read today that re-visits the horrors of the Nazis - and I do hope that we have learned our lessons. So proud of you to take the time to explore on your own - I find that is the best way to really get to know a country.

Especially about the gravesite, and it reminds me of somewhere in S.A. seeing graves one on top of another on hillsides, almost like crowded apartment buildings. You probably know where I'm talking about. Just yesterday I found the little journal I kept on our three weeks in Europe on the way home from Africa. It's so interesting to read it all again and remember. And since our boys were fairly little, we did spend a fair bit of time at playgrounds and parks! podsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880888514207597761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-80502841698071173932019-09-01T07:37:31.429-07:002019-09-01T07:37:31.429-07:00Joy and sorrow.

It's truly awful what humans are capable of doing to each other and sadly that has yet to change. Some people just can't seem to learn from the past. I do much prefer the countryside, but these old European countries were built for walking so they are much easier to navigate and enjoy than the more modern towns of today.
