I think kids were different then. They had to deal with very difficult things in their lives like the deaths of parents and siblings and lack of food.

Yes I guess we all have to face things that are scary. I can only imagine how kids handled the Brother Grimm stories before Disney made them more kid friendly.

Kids do that to their parents. My youngest sister keeps reminding us all of her childhood traumas. I don’t think I have any.

Yes, I had no idea that the story traumatized her. She did not say anything back then, but she had a lot of nightmares and was afraid of boats for years. Now she keeps reminding me about it.

Thank you so much Debbie and my son says thank you for the greeting. That is a good question. The King who built the ship, Gustav II Vasa was not the same guy as Gustav Vasa the first, they were a hundred years apart. Gustav Vasa the first was the more important king of the two, but Gustav the second might have named it after himself. I could not find that information. But yes, Wasa the crispbread is definitely named after Gustav Vasa / Wasa the first.

This is a wonderful exhibit and one I would love to see in person. What a shame this beautiful ship sank on its first voyage! Was it named after King Gustav Vasa? Like the Wasa crisp rye bread. </p><!-- /wp:paragraph -->]]>Happy Birthday to your son! 🎉 And happy vacation to you. 🍻 This is a wonderful exhibit and one I would love to see in person.

I loved Struwwelpeter when I was a girl. I bought it for my boys and my mother in law was horrified. This is an incredible story. Thanks for sharing your pictures and this information.
