ReplyDeleteEphesos die große griechische Kolonie und Stadt ist heute eine spektakuläre Ruine. Der große Pergamonaltar und andere Antiquitäten aus Ephesos werden in Pergamonmuseum in Berlin aufbewahrt. Die Türkei hat viel zum Erhalt von Ephesos beigetragen :)

Before my time my family visited the 1939 Worlds Fair in NYC. They said it was like a dream, a promising future vision of better living and progress shrouded by war clouds in Europe.
ReplyDeleteThey said the pavilions of each country displayed the agriculture, industry and unique culture of each nation. Some even had restaurants serving the national cuisine. Particular favorites were the pavilion of Italy that had a restaurant modeled after a dining room from one of their great ocean liners serving fine cuisine, and the terrace cafe of the Swedish pavilion that served a vast smorgasbord. The most memorable and poignant was the pavilion of Czechoslovakia, unfinished during construction in 1938 when that nation was invaded by Germany. It was staffed by loyal Czechoslovak expatriates and supported by Americans of Czechoslovakian heritage. It too had a restaurant, Old Prague serving Czech beer and Slovakian wine and food.
The facade had an inscription by Comenius, After the tempest of wrath has passed the rule of thy country will return to thee o Czech people, added just before the fair opened. Inside the pavilion a film was projected entitled the Rape of Czechoslovakia, to remind fair goers of painful realities. The plight of Czechoslovakia back then looks and sounds familiar in the Ukraine and the United States of today. :(
