It lasted almost 900 days (871 to be exact) The picture of a scene in winter in Leningrad was created by pages from a calendar. What stories and experiences they lived and survived! They must have still held on to hope and faith- I find that moving and admirable. What kind of future could they possibly have when there was such devastation and destruction all around? I think of the strength and resilience of the men and women of that time. My parents were born in 1944 and I often think about my grandparents and what it would have been like not only to live during that time of such uncertainty but also to have young children. I thought it a good time to come and start recording some of my thoughts.
The narration was not dramatic but the images and the reality were overwhelming. Not surprisingly, it was a lot to take in. I rented an audio guide, wanting to just have my ears plugged and be able to wander at will, and I’m not sure it was the best way to go. It had a lot of great things written about it and I had a lot of time to just spend in the city so it seemed like a great option.įirst off, it was built only a couple years ago and I loved the layout and design. This morning I decided to go to the Museum of the Second World War. It’s not that I don’t enjoy them or find them interesting, but I always want to be outside exploring rather than inside looking at a painting or sculpture. You won’t often find me in galleries and museums.
