you may wonder why Kremowki? this was the best dessert for late Pope John Paul II. this shop is just around the corner of where he was born and brought up. i couldnt resist the temptation to taste it. i wanted to have more.
my day was good despite it was rainy and cold and windy though we had sunshine later in the afternoon. i always felt there was something missing in the air but i could not put a hand on it. it was an experience of my own shadow. i was trying to listen to silence. below is the picture we took at what was an established Jewish cemetery. this grave in particular showed me how some Jews are so attached to this place. this was home and everything despite what happened.

the power of silence can be threatening but its worth taking it. i learnt more than i knew about the Polish people, Jews and Germans between 1939 and 1945. the complex nature of what happened is beyond my imagination.
