Shindler's Factory
Today we went to see Shindler's factory in Kraków, Poland. It was a very sobering experience to hear various stories the tour guide told us, but it was also very interesting and a place that everyone should go visit to learn more about this history. One of the most heart-wrenching stories was about the man who threw babies put of windows for fun. This was very disheartening to hear. It was nice that the tour guide had real life connections with some of the Holocaust survivors and was able to tell us a few of those stories. I do wish that the tour would have been more about the factory itself, but it was interesting that it was organized by year, so you could see the progression of the Germanization of Poland during this period.

That was a very powerful tour. It really "hit home" what life was like in Poland during the German occupation, especially for Jewish people. It was amazing what Schindler had done for the Jews, and it was heart-warming to see the photographs of those he had saved.
ReplyDeleteThis tour really opened my eyes to what went on during the holocaust. It was heart-wrenching to hear about what occurred to these people.
