webbhead is an unknown quantity at this point
I recently visited Krakow and Oswiecim to tour Holocaust sites. One site I missed was that of Plaszow labour camp, located south of Krakow and notorious for its murderous commandant, Amon Goeth (portrayed by Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List). Has anyone visited the Plaszow site in recent years? Can you describe it or post a picture?

Thanks

According to the front page of yesterday's Times, Goeth's daughter, who has herself had to deal not only with her father's crimes, but also a number of threats and incidents because of who she is, works to teach what happened during the Holocaust.

There is a woman who is seeking redemption and forgiveness through action. I an only admire her for that course. Do you have any more information on her?
