Names

I then noticed those little copper plates, probably 4 inches by 4, that you see in the footpaths in Berlin. They are all over the shop really.

The plates have names engraved on them... Names of people who lived in that particular address before the war, together with their fate. The Jews, the commies, the homos, they're all there. On the footpath they used to walk on, on their way to school or to work or to temple. Or on their way back home...

So yeah... Two pretty emotional days. back to fun stuff now.
