Cranes II.

We visited the Opava Museum for an educational programme about people persecuted by Nazi and then by communists. We learned how they felt about that and what they do with their lives later. Some were avesome - they managed to be happy still, they didn´t live in hate. The lady said that the best revenge is to live well. It must be hard to really live by this quote.

We have planned to fold some cranes in the square ourside  and to put them at the soldiers memorial but it was raining - so we folded them inside. Small ones for the memorial and big one for the school.

WWII Memorial Visit

There is a big WWII memorial  in Hrabyně,

near Ostrava. so we went to visit it. We went by bus.

We visited the memorial with worksheet that helped us to pick the most interesting things. We learned a lot about the WWII - how people in the army, but also in the countside lived, about persecution of Jews, about resistence movement, about our army formation in Great Britain and USSR.

Some parts of the exhibition were wery hard to go through - the Mauthausen Stairs of Death and then the exhibition of fight around Ostrava. Some of us like to play War Thunder, WoW and so on, but this was something completely different. War is not like in a computer game. We will remember that.
