Krakow This is my first experience travelling solo, discovering a city that so far is one of my favourite in Europe. I climbed ancient mounds, visited the castle and the jewish district, discovered the history of the jeishw comunity during the World War II. I've also been in Oświęcim to see the nazi camp of Auschwitz, place of sadness. I found out how the camera doesn't work below zero, not many pictures but extremly cold. |

Bohaterów Getta Square (the Ghetto Heroes Square), Podgórze On 13th and 14th March 1943 the ghetto was liquidated.
