THROUGH THE LAND OF ISRAEL III-Time for a new avatar?


There was a time when when this blog was uploaded with more than 250 posts per month, and it has declined into a meager 1-2 posts now. The main reason for such a downfall is because I don't live any more in the ’Holy Land’ to walk ’Through the Land of Israel'. Moreover, I didn't want an abrupt ending to the blog. An alternate option for me is to widen the area of exploration outside Israel to Europe with a special emphasis on the Jewish heritage monuments and Holocaust memorials. Since Jewish diaspora in Europe is immensely spread out and my resources and time are limited; I would be most content if at least some of the major Jewish sites in the continent are covered. As a starting step, I am uploading one of our recent adventures in Norway to trace the background of a young Jewish girl Ruth Sakolsky who died in the Auschwitz concentration camp.

The Story of Ruth Sakolsky (1940-1943).
