Stones: Jewish Cemetery, Prague CZ

        In my line of work I see a good many cemeteries. I rather like them. They are places of peace and often places of history. You can learn a good deal about a location by looking at headstones. In Prague there is a Jewish Cemetery that also includes a memorial to lives lost during World War II. 

    One of the things that interested me is the lack of flowers. Our U.S. cemeteries are often full of flowers, real or plastic. We also a getting to have many solar lights and things. In the Jewish Cemetery people come and place stones on the headstones (see photo). Stones do not wilt or fade. Stones speak of permanence. It is a nice tradition.
