What a beautiful first shot. Thank you so much for the reminder… we must all remember and actively make sure something like this doesn’t happen again.
Thank you, Ladyfi. Those items are on a table in my home. Indeed, we must not let it happen
Well chosen photos among your post. I really like the tall lamppost; however, I keep thinking Narnia when I see it! Not really the intent of the post.
“One in five young Germans has no idea that Auschwitz was a Nazi death camp” – a troubling headline
That was a disturbing headline, Leora. I can see why it reminds you of Narnia.
Thank you for sharing so many links. I was also troubled by the headline about young Germans.
I was troubled, also, Ilana. Thank you
Thanks for this great post with thoughtful photos and so many links. We should always remember.
I’m German and I feel responsible for keeping the memory alive.
Thank you, Carola.
Very nice pictures. I have been to the Holocaust museum in Washington DC. I also like your pic of the WWII memorial. My Dad is a WW II vet and is still living at 90 years old. He has very interesting stories. Thanks.
Thank you, Judy. My dad was a WWII vet, also.
