Płaszów: Memory Overwritten
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 มี.ค. 2021
- Join us for a virtual Tour of Płaszów. Over the last 200 years, the site of KL Płaszów, in the south of Krakow, has contained Austro-Hungarian military fortifications, two Jewish cemeteries, and a Nazi labour camp and concentration camp; today, it primarily functions as a public park. The future of the site and the way its past is presented remain an open question. On a virtual tour with former FestivALT co-director Adam Schorin, we’ll explore the history of this site, discover what remnants of its past lives are still present, and engage in a complicated debate about how the site should be treated today.
Adam Schorin is a writer from New York who moved to Poland to work on a novel about a family descended from Polish Jewish Holocaust survivors.
He is a former co-director of FestivALT and a guide and educator with the Taube Center for the Renewal of Jewish Life in Poland Foundation.
I'll be going to Krakow next week for a wedding, I'm from Pennsylvania !
Your video was so informative and moving.
I will be visiting the site with respect.
Thank you !
I visited Plazow in 2017... an incredibly sad place. To walk around the grounds of the former Camp is to feel the ghosts that inhabit that sad place.
Absolutely fascinating. Thank you for sharing.
A very interesting watch. I was there a few days ago and very moved what happened there 80 odd years ago. I was Surprised at first to see limited information but after a day trip to Auschwitz and how commercialised this former camp has become with so many people visitingI reflect back to Plaszow and how peaceful this is.
I personally feel a slight change is maybe needed probably with a few more signs, but saying that you tube tours have been superb to educate oneself on the cruelty that happened here.
Thank you .😊
The whole town is the cemetery and should be treated as such. The apartment buildings are too close to the concentration camps. It’s eerie to see people walking ,relaxing in the park on the bodies of murdered human beings. McDonald’s scared me to see
Exactly I McDonald's residential living areas, people walking their dogs riding their bikes in an area. That was a concentration camp and a Jewish cemetery. Think about that people that's what Poland, people, has done to erased that camp with McDonald's residential living areas. Next thing you know They will be having carnivals and music festivals, right, where people were magically murdered in in the holocaust concentration camp and a Jewish cemetery oh, this is disgusting haw do Polish Jews feel about this. This is disgusting.
My cousins husband and life were there and survived. I went there with them and they told what happened in various places during our trip to Poland. The USHMM has their video history on file among others . Worth looking these up.
Thank you ! good production
Thank you for this very informative piece on Plazow,I visited the site on my last day of a trip to krakow in March2023,from an early age I have been reading everything about these atrocities inflicted on our fellow human beings. My father had been at the liberation of Belsen and was deeply affected by these horrific images for the rest of his life. I wandered Plazow for hours that day , visualizing the horror this place once was, personally, I think maybe an information/ small museum within the notorious Grey House, would be beneficial to visitors, I feel , the commercialization of these historical sites are an affront to the memory of the Holocaust.
BTW thanks for this its not always easy to find content like this which is in english and has stymied a lot of us who are not so worldly
I saw another tour of this site -- and the man narrating said Schindler had an office in the house with the basement. The tour guide was upset bc (he said) a man was buying the house to live in. He even showed pictures of the man moving in. Didn't notice the date of that documentary. Obviously, you aren't saying this -- I wonder what's going on...
Thank you, wonderful tour, so appreciate all who Witness.
I know that the commandant's (Goeth's) house was bought and renovated, looks very good and looks inhabited. I personally think this is good. A haunting house left empty forever would be only a monument for the evil of Amon Goeth. He was executed for his crimes, this should be the end of his rule over any buildings and any people.
As far as I know the other building (next to the entrance to the camp, the oe you can see in Schindler's list) is being renovated and turned to a museum.
I AM VERY VERY INTERESTED MY GRANDMOTHER CAME FROM POLAND NOT SURE WHAT PART SHE NEVER TALKED ABOUT IT AND. OW I CANT ASK BECAUSE SHE PASSED AWAY IN 2001. I WANT TO LEARN EVERYTHING I CAN ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST
I appreciate this place the way it is. I feel this place is heeling wounds instead of keeping it open. Now it is undergoing some renovation works, I hope it won't change to a museum.
Of course we need full-scale museums, but we already have them. One visit in Auschwitz is quite enough for a lifetime.
For me Płaszów is a place of contemplation with hope, rather than moan and dread. You can see all the layers of history here. The fact that Germans came here and organised hell on earth here is not defining this place. It is neither the first nor last word in the history of this place. It is a very painful but also very short episode. It was a nazi concentration camp for few years only. It is not one any more and let's hope will never be again. We can see that there was a cemetery before, but not a cemetery of prisoners but of free people living their lives nearby. It was a quarry, were people were working hard to build their town. The Krak's mound reminds us that there were people living here from prehistoric times and this place was special/sacred for them. And finally there is beautiful nature that has always been here and clearly shows that this place is not owned by any human evil.
Amazing !
Many many many thanks.
interesting...the only story I knew about the plazsow camp was from the Schindler's List movie and I thought that esw was the real Nazi camp but until I saw your documentary I knew the dimension of the real area....it was huge. ..congratulations and good job
What is the old building up at the back. It’s complete with doors etc and a fence around it .
Great and sobering work being undertaken here, and never agian is the thoughts that we should take forward. I would be interested if any investigations are being undertaken regarding the British concentration camps in Kenya during the Kenyans fight for indepence. I am only asking as it seems to be a forgotton episode in recent history. Keep up your work and again we must ensure this never happens again.
What are the yiddish words inscribed on the entrance gate to Krakow?
Thank you so much for sharing with me an infamous fragment of the Hitler's Nazi horrendous regimen, via this film.
It must have been a painful odyssey it is to recollect such memories and to recount them.
The crimes and cruelties committed against my sons and daughters, my fathers and mothers, my brothers and sisters hurt me deeply, regardless their ethnicity and nationality.
In Isaiah 2: 4, Jehovah God, the Creator and Source of life, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, promises:
"He will be judge among the nations and will settle matters in relation to many peoples. They will turn their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. The nations will no longer raise their swords against each other and learn no more to wage war."
My immediate neighbors are Jews and I am a Jehovah's Witness.
Their hearts are superior than pure gold by far. They are extremely kind.
The gentleman takes care of my trash can every Wednesday without my asking him to do so. They are lovely human beings, and they are not in need of the smallest improvement.
Very well put together. Excellent work, keep passing thise knowledge you have.
As a constructive critic I would suggest a shorter introduction.
Thank you and Bless you ⚘❤
please conserve this very sad death factory where many innocents were murdered in cold blood`` many were tortured and killed- keep this place secred and take help from Scheindlers children-
They NEED to stop hiding the graphic parts, there is almost nowhere left you can see the reality of the evil men do. it leaves a blank space no closure for lack of a better word so when people think of these subjects it does not shock them or leave a bad feeling as it stops short of the reality. take kids or young people who commit horrific acts 99.9% say afterwards they regret it they did not know it was going to be like that. also the rest of the world does not censor so much so were living a disney life in a wild world imo
It’s a graveyard, how can it become a park?
I WOULD LOVE TO ASK ? But I believe that this is not live
I grew in this area, and I'd love to help you collecting any informations on your grandmother- can't promise I'll be able though :)
@@Jarzyn44 My great grandfather Jozef Rosensweig was supposedly a prominent figure in Krakow prior to WW2. He was a judge and apparently owned a village. I wish I could find more info about him
It would be better to replace phrase "Nazi labour camp" in the description to "German labour camp".
You mean the murders camp
Gothes execution was botched a couple times, rightfully so
Who pays for your centre? Poverty is rampant in SA.
Am enjoying this but your constant umm, umming and hand rubbing and face touching are very off putting!
