Grunaer Weg

  • 1942, June 19, Friday morning – In the afternoon to the Jewish cemetery with Ida Kreidl, who complained incessantly. One and a half hours: Strehlener Kirche, Reicker Strasse, Rayskistrasse, Grunaer Weg, Grime Wiese (Gusti Wieghardt’s district!), Haenel Claus Strasse, Borsbergstrasse. Dresden is lovely: the dark hills, the abundance of nursery gardens, the magnificent flowers and aromas, the piece of open countryside with the gas works like a stopper in the middle of it. **p81
  • 1942, July 5, Sunday toward evening – The whole morning occupied with the cemetery. In considerable heat, the walk, in my coat, was even more of an effort (there and back three hours) than recently. But the summer view on Grunaer Weg (blooming nursery gardens, fields of grain, the chain of hills beyond) again very beautiful. At the cemetery everything even more wretched than before. **p93
