This buiding used to be

the Wilhelmina Catherina school.

Half of the pupils were banned

to the backside because they were Jewish.

Only a few children survived the massacre.

 

You stood up for us.

When they humiliated us in

the concentration camp I thought:

the frontside-children did believe

we belonged together. For you

that wall made no difference. "

"Make Love, Not War," I carryied these words on a sign to protest war in the 1960s. I am tremendously inspired by Barack Obama's speech for so many reasons. but his commitment to ending the war and giving care and support to the veterans really made me cry.

A series of panels set in the wall of a house in Chelmsford. They've been thier donkey's years and are in need of repair and repainting. Nice and unusual though.

At this tourist-rich section of the wall, you could get a cable car up and toboggan down. We did neither.
