PhotoHunt--Road

I've been looking at all the wonderful PhotoHunt entries, and well, I'll dip my toe in.

This week's topic is Road.

I found several "road" photos from my trip to Burgundy a few years ago.

Photohunt--View

They don't call it the Grand Canyon for nothing.

Photohunt--Sad

Copy%20of%20IMG_2547.JPG

This is an inscription on a small memorial in the town of Bad Neustadt in Germany. The town's 37 Jewish citizens, including my husband's grandparents, Hugo and Gretel, were arrested and sent to Auschwitz in 1942. On the stone memorial is a quote from the last letter Gretel wrote to her children, who had been sent to safety in England on one of the last Kindertransports that managed to save some Jewish children. The five children ranged in age from 15 to two years old. They never saw their parents again. The translation of the quoted portion reads, "Pray for us and remember us, tell our story to your children."

Ten years ago, a high school history teacher in Bad Neustadt researched the few surviving descendents of the Jewish residents, locating Larry's father and his siblings. Through her efforts and those of the descendants, the memorial, carved with wide open eyes, was placed in town.

תהי נשמתו צרורה בצרור החיים
זכרו לברכה
Let their souls be bound with the bond of the living.
May they be of blessed memory.

Photohunt--Lazy

Put eight 14 year old boys in a bunk at summer camp, and you'd think it would occur to at least one of them to clean the jockey shorts up off the floor and make the bed before Mom walks in on visiting day?

Nah, me either.

Photohunt--Together

I spent quite some time looking for a "together" photo, and finally settled on this one.

Here are my two sisters and myself, discussing our plans for the morning in Siena on one of the full family trips we all took together--three generations sharing a house. I think our body language is hilarious.

Photohunt--Ruin(ed)

Taken on the Liberty Island Ferry as it pulled out of lower Manhattan, Sept 1, 2001. So much was ruined just a few days later, on so many different levels.
