On this cold November day let's do a #TBT to summer vacations in 1931 in Spindleruv Mlyn, the Czech Republic.

While we're finalizing our annual and Centropa Summer Academy reports, we're looking back on a year of great memories - passionate and committed teachers, intensive seminars, our memorable trip through Vienna, Prague, Terezin and Berlin with 90 educators from 18 countries, and other events bringing 20th century European Jewish history to life. What's your Centropa memory of 2016? #ThursdayThoughts
