Dear all,
Thousands of Jewish tombstones were used as construction material in the Ukrainian city of Lviv – first by the German occupants during World War II, later by the Soviets. Sometimes they appear, and sometimes there are people who save them. Today, tombstones from a courtyard in downtown Lviv were returned to the Jewish cemetery by Sasha Nazar and his friends from Lviv Volunteer Center. Have a look on the stones and on these brave, hard working people:

Tomorrow, I will be out for another Galician trip with my friends Marla, Jay and Vasyl. See you there!
Christian
