Heading out on our Prague tour. Post more pics later

Wow! I've never seen this much about the Holocaust. So sad that it's memorialized but at the same time very important part of history. RR, thanks for taking the time to add captions explaining the details of the pictures.

Wow Brian........I hope your grandma is doing OK after her trip to the camp?

I don't know how any reasonable person could help but be moved by such a terrible time in the history of man.....may we never forget.

She was ok and glad she saw it but I can tell it was a bit tough for her. I saw her crying a few times as we were on the tour. How in humane these people were treated is just uncomprehendable

I'm amazed that Hitler could get people to carry out his brutality. :(

I could see the anxiety in my parents just before they went back to their home town for the first time. They waited several years after the walls came down before going.
Mom and my Oma had to hide in the mountains when the Russians came through their city raping and pillaging and destroying everything. Something that happened on several occassions.
Dad has told me of his dark cargo train rides and being dumped off somewhere. His father died in a Russian POW camp.
