This image was taken in Prague, in the Jewish quarter. The white wall with the names of the victims made a big impact on me: Names are much stronger than numbers!

Hi Adastro
Great POV and a strong composition. Very well seen, a great work, very graphic, very impressive, and very human.
Congrats, mb

Imaginative idea to shoot this wall; it is cropped well so that the individual names are visible but you still captured a lot of names in the frame. It's very moving and I am pleased that you made this post.

HI Adastro
You are right a photograph is worth thousands of words.

By looking at the dates I presume this wall is dedicated to the jewish people that were killed by the Nazis during the war.
Did you ever get the explanation why some have stars and others do not.?
Very sharp capture that sends out a very strong message from history.
Dot

Hi Adastro,

You are very kind person to remember the legacy of those names . . Original idea presenting this kind of image . .
Well done my friend

Tfs,

Morning Adastro
Thanks you for sharing this image. Having been to one of the German camps a couple of years ago and to the memorial in Washington, DC I understand your feeling. These events can not be forgotten. Thanks for the image.

Thanks for the recent visit, appreciated.

Hi Romeu,
A very thoughtful and creative shot. I note that they all left this world in 1942, 43, 44. Some things speak to you without words. Well done.
