After touring the salt mine, we took a bus to Schindler's Factory. (Remember the movie Schindler's List?) The factory has been turned into a museum that illustrates life in Krakow from 1939 to 1945.
The most powerful moment in the museum was having to weave through the Nazi flags. This effectively represented the Nazi takeover of Poland.
There were also letters written by children. It was interesting to read their perspective on what was happening around them.
Above is one of "Schindler's Lists." And on the wall was all the names of people saved from concentration camps by Oscar Schindler.
After touring the factory we took a bus back into the city center. It had finally stopped raining, but everything was still wet. So we took some cool "shiny" pictures before heading home.
We had a great weekend! Thank you Ilona for taking us to Krakow!!
I did not realize Schindler's factory was in Krakow. That would be so interesting and emotional to tour. cool.
