Abstract
When our children were young adults, we decided to revisit our past, taking a trip with them across a few Western countries in Europe. Our goal included learning the history of World War II and what happened to the Jews in Western Europe where we had lived. We took along history books, notebooks, and audiotapes for recording conversations. Still, since this would be our first family trip to Europe, we wanted to share and enjoy this continent’s treasures: the arts, music, architecture; the landscapes, foods, and its people. This journey, then, would represent a kaleidoscope of our passions: to be with each other, learn together, share life as it was now, and remember the past.
Based on my diary and family conversations tape-recorded during the summer of 1982.
