After two weeks bus rides are getting to me! Patty handles them well. We’re off to Poland!First stop was Olomouc, Czech Republic. This was a lunch stop on the way to Krakow. This square is old but the clock is fairly new, built as tribute to communism and a tribute to the workers of the party.Close up of the clock Anther close upStumbling Stones. This is a project started by German Artist, Gunter Demnig in 1992. He started placing these little brass plaques (about 4 inches square) at the sites of the last known free residence of people that were rounded up and killed by the Nazis during the holocaust. There are currently over 100,000 of these placed in the ground in 27 countries. They are normally in the sidewalk in front of the addresses where these people lived. The stones include name, when they were born , when they were taken, and when they were killed. Another attempt to keep the memory alive in hopes that we as a people never allow another holocaust to occur.
