I may not be Jewish, but very likely many many of my Czech or Bohemian relatives were, and many perished in the Holocaust.

Unfortunately I have not visited Prague (yet), but my late mother and father did
back just after the Soviet Union fell.

Also my siblings, thre of them, and some of their adult children have too.

On the walls are the names.

And my family name.
Over and over and over….my family name is there.
