Thank you for sharing these images. Although I do not speak German – and I think that is the language I was hearing – the images alone speak volumes. I like to think of people as mostly peace-loving . . . but history hardly support that belief.
Your work on this website speaks volumes about your attention to detail. It’s a pleasure to visit with you here even though I have not been able to trace my family to this part of the world.
