After our successful first explorations in Prague we started our second day with a more serious topic. First on our program were the Jewish Museum and the surrounding synagogues. Before our visit we had not known that Prague had such a long Jewish history. Our tour included the beautiful Spanish synagogue and also a centuries old Jewish cemetery. But the Jewish history of Prague is of course not complete without the Holocaust. Nowhere is this put more clearly than in the Pinkas Synagogue, where the walls are full of names (total of 80 000) of Czech and Moravian Jews who were murdered by the German Nazi government. One cannot help but wonder how the lives of those people, who at some point had led an ordinary life, would\u2019ve turned out\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
