easter time walks

visiting the grave of a friend at an old hidden jewish emetery in the Taunus montains - and enjoying life and spring around this wonderful burial place...

 

Wolgang Lauinger was persecuted during Nazi times due to jewish roots, and persecuted in early post-war Germany as a homosexual man... and he fighted for full rehabilitation - which he did not receive! - and for equal human rights up to his biblical age of 99.

 

my honour to a fine, warmhearted man and an unbreakable democrat!

 

May the Light of the Eternal and Holy One shine on you!

 

Too bad I lost all my hebrew knowledge, which my mother taught me by Johann Gottfried Herders Book "The Spirit of Hebrew Poetry"... so I was not able to read or translate the wors on his burial stone.
