| I heartily echo Zoyas thoughts. Do visit the state museum at Auschwitz ,Dont do it as part of a coach party! These people are generaly not respected by the guides as most tour buses turn up,spend a couple of hours gawping at the horror then go off for a nice jolly to the local salt mine(which is actually well worth a visit but on another day.)
Also,as you are new to the subject I imagine,and I mean no disrespect,you will probably be basing some knowladge on say Shindlers list? Well,if that is the case,if you stay in Krakow his old factory is still in pretty much the same condition it was during the war.Easily located in the Podgorzedistrict just over the river from Krakows old town center. Also,if your feet are up to the walk,a couple of good miles away is the site of the former Plasow KZ .Not much there,a few memorials in Polish,the old SS barracks is now a private residence and all that remains of the butcher Goethes villa is the cellar,or rather a big hole.Still very spooky though. |
