May 15th - Last Morning in Prague

This morning we explored the Jewish Quarter of the city. This part was actually not destroyed when Hitler invaded because he had the sick idea to make it a museum for people to learn about the Jewish population there.

We went to an exhibit of children's drawings from the Terezín Ghetto, a place where many Jewish adults and children were sent before going to concentration camps. One woman urged many of the children to create drawings as an escape, and they were stored secretly in a suitcase under the floorboards of a house in the ghetto.

We explored more of the temples and some other churches, and then headed over to the other side of the river to check out some of the public parks. We saw a white peacock, which I didn't know existed! Our trip to Prague was short, but definitely worth it.
