What a fine photograph of this one of the most touching places in Prague. Had a change to join a jewish group to a tour to the cemetery 15 years ago. There were 9 jews around the world - and me. The guide was a very old lady, who had lost all her relatives in Auschwitz. Needless to say it was an unforgettable 3 hour tour. V
