Day 26: More lectures

Today we had lectures with Pino for 3 hours in the morning.

After lunch I went for a walk to tick a couple of things off the 'to do' list.

One of these was visit the grave of Oskar Schindler. Stones placed on top of the grave are a sign of gratitude from Jewish visitors, according to Jewish tradition, although Schindler himself was not Jewish. On his grave, the Hebrew inscription reads: "Righteous among the Nations", an honorific used by the State of Israel to describe non-Jews who risked their lives during the Holocaust to save Jews from extermination by the Nazis. The German inscription reads: "The Unforgettable Lifesaver of 1200 Persecuted Jews".
