One evening while we were walking to our hotel after having a wonderful dinner at Mongo's, we noticed a cement school bus sculpture. We thought that it would be fun to take some silly pictures there, but after we read the sign for the bus, we couldn't imagine doing it anymore.The Grey Bus is a monument to the mentally and physically handicapped people who were annihilated by the Nazis during WWII. There is one bus that is permanently located in Ravensburg. This photo is of the second one that travels the route to Grafeneck. Cologne is on that route, and the bus arrived here in 2011.
We returned to Canada on December 14th, the same Friday that so many children were killed in Newtown, Connecticut. Pictures of the Grey Bus now will always remind me of this tragedy too. Neither event will ever make sense to me.
