Krakow

Krakow's buildings managed to avoid the bombing and destruction of WWII. However it was thoroughly looted, it's intelligentsia were imprisoned or killed and 65,000 of it's 68,000 Jewish citizens were liquidated.

Got to love Polish food. Curious to see what the scales say back in Florida.

A happy tourist?

The old town is a 10 minutes walk from our apartment. The main train station is five minutes.

We take tours of Auschwitz, the salt mines and a walking tour of the Jewish areas. This footbridge takes us to the ghetto where the Jews were concentrated before "transport".

The square in the Ghetto area has 65 chairs, one for each 1,000 people who were liquidated.

The castle area of Krakow in old town is worth a look.
