Jewish Museum
We are in the last hour of an eight hour walking tour (and it is hot) and will put up a full post later, with photos. It needs to be said that with only 1,500 Jews in Prague (and only 3,000 in the country out of 365,000 at it height, albeit with larger borders), there may be more people visiting a museum on a daily basis than there are living Jews in Prague. Photos are of a statue on the Charles Bridge intended to show Jews they were required to convert, as Christ is depicted as holy under the Jewish religion, part of the wall of names within the Holocaust Memorial inside the Jewish Museum and a rooftop ornament in the old ghetto area.
