(1/10) Because of the tweet of @ferstl_roman
about Ingeborg Wolfová I wanted to know the fate of all the other children.
Sadly enough it's unbelievably tragic.😢
This picture shows the class of 1940/1941 on Federal Jewish Reform Grammar School in Brno.

(2/10) On this picture are 35 children and 1 teacher.
25 children, 10 boys and 15 girls, and the teacher did not survive. 😢
They were deported to a concentration camp or a ghetto in occupied Poland...

(10/10) To me, photos like these emphasize the magnitude of the Holocaust much more than the number 6 million.

Poor children and all your parents and other relatives, we may and will never ever forget!
