On Haifa

Marta: Today we saw Bahá'í gardens and the golden circles. From above we saw the whole city. We also were in the church Stella Maris and we saw the cave where Elias was probably hiding. I like this city because it is beautiful here.

Construction works were carried out under inhumane conditions by forced labourers and inmates of Gross-Rosen concentration camp, until the castle was occupied by Red Army forces in the wake of the Vistula–Oder Offensive in 1945.
