Yom R'víí, Adar II 20, 5776. March 30, 2016. Shalom! World. In summer 2013, a new Starbucks store located as Praha Castle.was opened, a highly preserved and particularly sensitive area, given its history and cultural heritage. Starbucks Prazsky Hrad, is a fantastic experience to share your Café with the Praha atmosphere. No other Starbucks store in the world makes me feel so alive when i spend mine moments here. The sunset will take your breath away, and i found the answer: pourquoi battait mon coer? Shalom! Aleichem.

Image
Friday, Adar II, 15 5776. March 25, 2016 Shalom! World. Café Savoy is an elegant café its own confectionery evoking the atmosphere of the cafés of the First Czechoslovakiaa Republic. The chefs at Café Savoy cook Czech as well as French meals; the confectioners prepare homemade cakes and guests sitting under the Neo-Renaissance ceiling suddenly find themselves in the world of Viennese café bars. The negative point was the staff. They were very rude with me, i felt very disapointed 'cause its unusual in Praha. Shalom! Aleichem.

The Konzentrationslager Ebensee was a sub-camp of KZ Mauthausen, and is considered to be one of the most diabolic concentration camps ever built. The construction of the sub-camp began in late 1943 and the first 1.000 prisioners arrived on 18 November 1943 from the main camp of Mauthausen and other Mauthausen sub-camps. The main purpose of Ebensee was to provide slave labour for the construction of the enormous underground tunnels in which armament works were to be housed. After rising at 4:30 A.M. the prisoners dug away at the tunnels until 6 P.M. After some months work was done in shifts 24 hours a day. There was nearly no accomodation to protect the first batch of prisoners from the cold Austrian winter. Thus the death toll increased astronomically. Bodies were piled in heaps and every 3-4 days they were taken to Mauthausen crematorium to be burned. Ebensee did not yet have its own crematorium. The...
