We Planted Our Christmas Tree

We Planted Our Christmas Tree

January 4, 2019 · Sandra

We celebrated Christmas 2018 in our beautiful Airbnb in Weimar, Germany.  James got some gifts and we watched a few silly Christmas movies.  We bought a little Conifer tree at the Blumen shop for our Christmas tree.  Since it was a live tree in a pot with dirt, we hated to just leave it behind.  

There is a concentration camp near Weimar called Buchenwald.  We visited Buchenwald a few days before Christmas.  We have been to one other concentration camp before - Theresienstadt in the Czech Republic.  But we hadn’t been to a concentration camp with a crematorium and Buchenwald has one.  It was one of the hardest things to walk through and I don’t want to do it again.

Chris came up with the idea to go back to Buchenwald on Christmas Day and plant our little Christmas tree.  There is a large memorial at the camp and after walking around the memorial, we found the perfect place to plant our little Conifer Christmas tree.

James is looking at the statue depicting the prisoners in 1945 that stormed the watchtowers and killed the remaining guards, liberating the camp.

Chris found the perfect spot next to another tree that had been cut down.
