Some pictures of European Jewish-related sites from my travels.
« on: August 13, 2018, 11:14:10 AM »
In my travels in Europe I always made sure to visit Jewish locales.
When going through some pictures for a presentation I came across a trip to Prague that I had made to bring some bobsledders to, to teach them more about Jewish history.   Note: The images could be disturbing, as they are proofs of the terrible atrocities of the holocaust.  I have decided to post in the trip reports section some pictures of the locations, in case there are those who are not able to see them personally.


Prague is an hour-plus away from the Altenberg bobsled track, so it makes for an easy day trip.

Also in close proximity is the Theresienstadt camp.  I will try to find pictures from that trip as well.

Dachau and Obersalzburg (which has a museum that includes education on holocaust propoganda.)  I will write a bit more about these when I have the time to add thoughts.
Dachau is striking in that it is only 25 minutes or so from MUC/Munich airport.
