bad old news in Weimar, 1945

few tourists coming here will (want to) find their way to photos of Weimar after Februar 9 and 27 and March 10, 1945.
disheartening.
disenchanting as well.

for instance, the "Yellow Palace" as the photo shows below, survived in part, but this computer and desk, indeed this entire floor and this entire building´s interior, were empty space above rubble after the bombing.
 
 
and Goethe´s home on Frauenplan -- though not the 4-6 foot pile of mere rubble of his home in Frankfurt -- was severely damaged.
