Perhaps it is no coincidence that I came to these pictures today, just 
after events in Charlottesville, Virginia.  Here are three photographs 
from the Pinkas Synagogue in Prague, which is both a museum and 
Holocaust memorial as well as a working synagogue.

Part of the memorial roster of 78,000 Czech Jews murdered by the Nazis. 
After the Soviet invasion that crushed the 1968 Prague Spring, the 
exhibit was closed. It was not reopened until the fall of Communism in 
1995.

Children's drawings from the Terezin (Theresienstadt) transit camp, 
which is about 35 km from Prague.
