The factory

The Schindler Factory was a very interesting and eye opening experience.  The biggest shock was the fact that most of the factory does not exist and that the tour was mostly about what Poland was like during the pre-war and post occupation area.  During the tour the tour the most intersting part was about the the swastika symbols on the floor.
In the middle of the tour one of the rooms was completely covered with tiles with the swastika symbol on them.  What is interesting to learn was the fact that the tiles could not be made anymore because the swastika symbols can not be produced on objects because of the meaning of it.  It was interesting because if the tiles break they can not replace them.  The factory was a very interesting and impactful site to visit.

  1. I also thought that the part about the tiles was interesting, and it shows how committed Europe is in its opposition to the Nazi party. The United States has made similar actions against the KKK, and I was drawing parallels between the two during the visit.

  2. I also thought this was interesting! I wonder what steps the museum had to take to convince those involved that these should be made. Would this company be criticized?
