Travels



More travels.  Went to Krakow and Prague.  In the 19th century most of the worlds Jews lived in this part of the world.  Now it is a museum.  My grandparents and father came to America from a small village near Gorlice, Poland.  There is a plaque in the town square in memory of the Jews who used to live there.   The town still looks similar to they way it was in the 1800s.   The land where his father had a farm is still farm country but there are no remnants of any Jewish community.   Countries change.
