Holocaust memorial sites in Germany

Here are a few postcards of various Holocaust memorial sites in Germany that we visited. I visited many more than this but these are the cards I was able to obtain and bring home. I definitely took more pictures on this trip than I did buy postcards. I also bought many more Starbucks mugs than I did postcards (which is usually the other way around).

Jebenhausen and Kippenheim

I visited both of these villages when I was in Germany last year. This first postcard depicts various places around Germany (I cannot quite understand what it says as I do not speak German). The bottom left picture is of the Synagogue in Kippenheim that I was able to visit. This is the rebuilt one as it was destroyed during Kristallnact (night of broken glass) back during WWII.

The rest of these postcards depict the region of Goppingen, which also houses the village of Jebenhausen. While in this town, we went Birkenstock shopping. Let's just say I should have bought more when we were there. They were cheaper in price and so comfortable!
