Renata loved riding on the trolley in Prag and on the trolley that looked like a choo choo as you can see in one picture below. She also went on a slide in a toy shop there. Juliie had a nice snack a fried dough with citrus and almonds in it and it was made on a steel rod and was hollow in the middle.
On the way back from Prag to Rotenburg we stopped in Terezin. This was a walled city that Hitler kicked 7 thousand Czech inhabitants out of to make room for 70 thousand Jewish people. At the begining of the war he used it as a "model city" and made films there and let the Red Cross tour there to see how well he was treating the Jews. But in the end it became another concentration camp and towards the end of the War 1945 1000's of Jews and other "enemies of the Reich" were exterminated here. The weather had been warm and sunny on the day we drove here until we aproched the city and then a light rain began. Many graves have only numbers on them but some do also have names.
