Just spent some time in Krakow and Auschwitz

Also visited this excellent museum in the Oskar Schindler Enamel Factory, 4 Lipowa street

Well worth a visit if you are in Krakow

Nice to visit these places. Very emotional. Look at that floor tile. Bob

That is a SPECTACULAR Museum!

Somewhere I have a photo - and will share later . . . but did you happen to notice the only known surviving section of this monument, on display just after you turn the corner dedicated to telling the tale of the Governor-General, Hans Frank? The story behind the monument - and it's demise during the occupation - was quite fascinating, I thought.

I too thought it was a very impressive Museum - and wound up spending many hours there. Considering the name of the Museum, expected to see more about Schindler - but was so pleasantly surprised to discover it had more than that to offer . . .

I have to say, the visit to Krakow was great - what a wonderful town. After reading up on Hans Frank, discovered he had a "Summer Home" in the countryside - just outside of Krakow. It sits abandoned today . . . but makes for an interesting side-trip. [and although it's fenced-off, it's really not all that difficult to get inside ]
