At the Corner...
Hi Everyone, Just a stone throw away from where I am living is a significant landmark from World War II. Here is some information about it that I found on the Brno website...
"The Second World War caused serious damage to Brno. During the Nazi occupation many Czech citizens were executed in the city at the Kounicové Koleje (a student residence); the result of these atrocities was the evacuation of the German inhabitants in 1945. The subsequent period of Communist rule brought the city economic and political stagnation, the consequences of which we are still finding difficult to overcome."
A couple of my Czech friends on different occasions pointed out this area to me. Taking a quick glance, you wouldn't necessarily realize the significance of this place. There is a building there and in the back is a park area with a beautiful white monument. I snapped a few pictures so you could see what the monument looks like. So much historical significance is all around me. At times I don't realize it until someone shares it with me.
Take care until next time.
Blessings,
Colleen

That's so interesting. I'm not very interested in history unless someone tells me about it. I'd like to see this! Guess I'll have to come over :-)
