Prague-Day 4
Oct 11, 2010
Today was a meaningful and powerful day as we visited Terezin and the Hidden Synagogue. Our guide Sylvie Wittmann, is the third generation of a family deeply immersed in the Jewish history of Prague and is legendary in her own right. After the Velvet Revolution in 1989 that brought down communism, one could say that Sylvia, almost single-handedly, orchestrated the rebirth of Judiasm in the Czech Republic and Prague. We were fortunate to have her with us on this memorable day. Today we see some attractions rarely available for groups, including “The Hidden Synagogue,” named for the Jewish Terezin prisoners who burrowed underground to worship there.
Tonight’s dinner, taking place as this is being posted is at Bellevue, often thought to be the best restaurant in Prague. Our tables view the luminescent sparkle of the lighted Charles Bridge and Castle Hill
