A Spring Evening, Bad Kissingen, 1936
T
oday I came across photographs of a rally that the Nazi party held on the little market square in the spa town of Bad Kissingen on a May evening in 1936.
It was really quite a show ...
... and then, for effect, they lit torches.
My great-uncle Leo's store and apartment were just around the corner off the lower right side of the photos -- perhaps 40 yards away.
That must have been a tough evening.

It gives me kind of a sick feeling, like looking through a window into hell.

Ditto Mark's comment. I couldn't have said it better.
