CSA 2016 - Day 5

I was supposed to write a blog on the second day of the CSA 2016 but because of some technical problems, I’ll give my impression of the fifth day.Amazing and day full of emotions started with our trip to Terezin, former Terezinstadt Ghetto. Although there were no extermination camps in former Czechoslovakia, Jews from this occupied country mostly ended up in extermination camps in Poland. We had a chance to visit the town, the museum, crematorium and a memorial dedicated to victims from the Terezinstadt Ghetto.

Shoes in Terezin

Two pair of shoes in small room at 17 Dlouha Street in Terezin. Owners: Artur Berlinger and his wife.  He was a man of many talents. He worked as a musician, music teacher, painter, calligrapher and artisan.  In 1942 Artur and his wife were deported to the Jewish Ghetto in Terezin. During 1943 Berlinger happened upon the empty attic space with the vaulted ceiling at 17 Dlouhá Street. Determined to help other inmates celebrate their Jewish faith, he transformed it into a prayer room and probably using his own liturgical items during the services he led.

Friday, 8. july

My religion and my mision are children and all of my professional life I've been searching for the best way to teach them. I am still convinced that involving someone's emotions into the learning process ensures that knowledge happens. The key of the change always opens from the inside and that is exactly what Centropa provides. Visiting Terezin today and meeting survivors was a great experience. Thank you Centropa

Day 4

Day four today and  we continued our trip to Prague starting from the Jewish cemetery and Kafka's grave.

Prague is a small miracle. Beautiful,traditional, cobbled streets and wonderful architecture take you to a land of dreams, where the impossible is never too far away. The Austrian Ambassador honored us with an invitation to dinner. 

Thrilled with the seminar so far, as I did not expect that on day two already I'd meet and collaborate with people as if we had known each other for years

Beautiful Souls

CSA 2016, Day Three. Another
fabulous day -- a visit to the Belvedere Museum in Vienna! As breathtaking as
it is, however it did not make my best part of this seminar day. Completely
unexpectedly, the highlight of the day turned out to be a story I was told by
Robert Rosner, a 92 year old Holocaust survivor from Vienna. It's a story of
how his wife survived the Holocaust in Austria.
