RE: Commemorative tour around Plaszow Concentration Camp in Krakow

in Worldmappin2 years ago

I don't think there are words to describe what's happened there. I saw the movie, had a headache for a whole day. I wanted to watch it again, but after so many years, I still can't get myself together to do it. I was in Poland when I was 9 and my parents decided on not to visit Auschwitz as we were too young. So I'm planning to go back one day.

Thanks for this post. Choosing monochrome was the right decision.

Thank you Erika. I think I watched the movie (Schindler´s List) as a kid or teenager but I didn´t remember it much so when I found out that the movie was actually shot so close to where we lived in Krakow, we watched it again. It´s even more emotional when you actually recognize the locations of the movie scenes... Soon after that, we watched The Pianist too. The Polish people were through so much pain and suffering during the war... I hope you will make it to Oswiecim one day but be warned, it´s really hard for sensitive people.
