Thank you so much! It’s great to hear that you enjoyed this video! I hope you’ll also enjoy next Sundays video. I will take you on a tour through Auschwitz in that one. So it’ll also be a very moving topic.
I tell you, I am German and I had a tour of Krakow in 2006. I had a great time in an incredibly beautiful city worth of visiting. When we had a tour of the holocaust museum and the tunnel of the ghetto I started crying so much that I could not go to the concentration camp . Unbelievable that today we accept people wishing for liquidation of Jews again!
I am german, 43 years old and I want to thank you from the Bottom of my Heart. Its important to do such Videos and that People will remember the injustice and inhumanity that happend and that is the responsibility of all of us that this will never happen again.
I am 66, and only some members of both my parents' Germanic families escaped the genocides of the Stalin regime, which in ideology was very different, but still equally brutal, including to Jewish colonies who were neighbors of my family. Germany might have held the top Nazi regime, but much of our world has held and still holds deep-rooted antisemitic views. I believe that we need to speak up for humanity and truth.
I totally agree. We have to learn from our past and we can only do so if we remember it. Besides that all of the victims deserve to be remembered and I am glad that I can use my platform to keep telling this part of our history.
i am 15 and the same exact shit is happening in Gaza and Ukraine, so you either need to finish a school or select someone else than the communist Ferkel ape
Well done. I was in Krakow two years ago and saw much of what was shown here.She explained things very well, especially the difference between the Jewish Quarter and the Ghetto. I salute her.
Thank you for your video and explanations. I had wondered how much was left from that terrible time in Poland’s history. I’ll take a look at more if your work.
My dear grandfather was the soul Survivor out of our family living in Germany, He lost both parents, siblings, his entire family & everyone he knew all sent to parish at Auschwitz. Being Jewish I Thank you for keeping their memories alive. Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱
I am sorry about the loss of huge parts of your family… And I thank you for your words. It means a lot that you liked the video and how I treated this part of our history. I will also show Auschwitz in the next video on Sunday. It’s a terrible place and yet so important to ensure that the people who have lost their lives in Auschwitz will forever be remembered. We can’t change our past but we can learn from it. May all the innocent souls that have died during World War II never be forgotten 🙏🏻
What a wonderful job of retelling such a grim period of world history. You’ve done your part in reminding the world what happened in Krakow so the public can drown out the deniers that live among us.
It's a day that needs to be remembered. A very important day of European history and we definitely should never forget our history here. We need to remember our past and learn from our mistakes to create a better future 🙏🏼
@@aventuralina Not exactly working out that way, is it? Melting kids who are trapped within a concentration camp, in 2024... I guess you need God on your side to make it ok.
A truly great video, many thanks for posting. I visited Babi Yar in Ukraine and Maly Trostonets outside Minsk in Belarus. I hope to visit Krakow, Poland within the next few years. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Schindler provided the Polish uniforms to the SS for the fake attack on the German radio station that day that was the pretext or the invasion of Poland.
My wife and i visited the beautiful city of Krakow from the UK... A place i allways felt i needed to travel to.. We did the city buggy tour with great interest.. Also taking in the concentration cap at Auschwitz. A truely moving experience.. Umaware of the camp in Krakow we will be returning to this incredible city a second time.. Thanks 🙏
Krakow is definitely a great city to visit. It’s beautiful and full of history. I think a lot of people aren’t aware of the camp in Krakow. I’m glad I was able to show you something you haven’t seen yet.
@@kevbrown7137 Thank you. I will try to visit Krakow myself too. So very much to learn here and hopefully, inform and educate , in order to work for peace, wherever we can.
Wonderful tour of Krakow and shared history of the fate of Jewish people in the city during WWII. Thank you! I just visited Terezin in the Czech Republic which the Czechs have developed to share the important history of this ghetto and extermination camp. So important to keep sharing with all generations 🌸🌸
Excellent and informative video! What I liked most was the sensitive and empathetic manner in which you presented the history of an extremely horrific era. Truth must endure.
Alina thanks for the lovely way you presented this to us , however in an ideal world there wouldn't be this horrible dark past. I'm a British Christian and so ashamed this happened.
The truth about what the Nazis did to the Jews was not broadcast to the general population until after the war. No need to feel ashamed as it was not your fault, but the fault of the Nazis. All we can do is pray for a better world, and criticise the leaders of countries who ill treat people.
@@rafd3593 I couldn’t agree more with this. Unfortunately there are some people in power are misusing that power, that has an impact on millions of people. And this is happening in far more countries than most people are aware of…
I was in Krakow in 1976. It was difficult to find someone who would take me to these sites. The Polish people I met were either in denial, wanted to forget or, worst of all, told an alternative history. Thank you, dear one, for telling this story. May we never forget.
Why should they want to relive it for you? 16% of the Polish people were killed in WW II not just Jews. At the end of the war the worl abandoned them for 50 years.
Thank you so much for sharing your video. I was visiting your country and also Krakow not long ago and I saw some of the sites that you just spoke about and it hurt me dearly. I’m an African-American Christian and just want you to know that I appreciate what you are doing and I wish I could’ve met you while I was there. Thank you so much. May you and your family be blessed.
Thank you for this informative video,I was in Krakow 9 years ago did everything to do with the holocaust it was heartbreaking,but I am also interested in the Polish history and I love listening to the Polish language ,I hope to visit again some day .I read the book of the pharmacist of krakow ghetto,we had to wait 5hrs for our flight back home so read the whole book highly recommend it . Important work you are doing Alina especially for young people in your generation.❤
Thank you so much for your words. This part of our history truly is heartbreaking but so important to remember and I am thankful that I can educate people on this topic via my channel.
Thank you Alina! Again a wonderfully presented video! It is unbelievable isn’t it that this happened relatively recently - how could that be? Thank you for your compassionate presentation 🙏
Beautifully filmed and presented, very well done young lady. This dark period of WW2 should be in the system of schools curriculum all over the world. I’m from Manchester, England, and visited Auschwitz 1 and Birkenau in April 2002 whilst working in the Czech Republic, both are harrowing places, especially Birkenau, I went into the watchtower at the main entrance overlooking the camp, and the first thing that struck me was the size of it. Glad I went, but wouldn’t want to go again.
Thank you so much for your feedback. It truly is an important place to visit to better understand and learn from our past. But it’s definitively also a very shocking experience and I totally understand if you don’t want to experience that a second time.
@@aventuralina Alina you’re obviously a very intelligent girl, who cares very much about human history. Remember history is the greatest subject, without it we have nothing. The great philosopher George Santayana once said “ those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it”. An iconic statement. Keep up your great work Alina.
I happened to rewatch Schindler's List a couple of weeks ago and then chanced across this video today which gave additional perspective. Very well made and presented video, such a difficult and emotive history to cover, but well done and thank you.
Thanks a lot for the feedback and welcome to my channel ☺️ Give me a few weeks and I will upload further videos about this topic. I’m currently working on them :)
Congratulations on this video Alina. You treated marvellously a very serious topic, and a very sad chapter of history. Many of the events you touch are the central theme of a cinema masterpiece, "Schindler's List" by celebrated director Steven Spielberg. In particular the brutal Kommandant of the Kraków-Płaszów Concentration Camp Amon Göth was played by English actor Ralph Fiennes, in a legendary role. Difficult area of #Poland, I guess, and indeed of the World. Hug and regards from Oceania.
Thank you for the feedback! Schindlers List is a great movie and perfect to understand much better the history of WWII in Krakow. So it’s definitely very recomendable 💯
Very well done. I was recently in Krakow to learn about what happened and your video added additional information that filled several gaps that I did not know about. I really appreciate it!
Great video and beautifully narrated. I am French born and visited Krakow in 1990. I was 15 at the time and was there because my father, a Poland lover, organized student exchange programs. Our host family took us to the Jewish ghetto, which at the time was still 80% intact from WW2. We could see bomb impacts and bullet holes in walls, all over the streets. We were told that the renovated buildings belonged to Jews, mostly in Israel, who were survivors or descended from survivors. But only two or three buildings had been renovated then, all others were still in ruins and through boarded windows, we could see household objects such as dishes. The whole visit was very scary, eerie. If you visit I today, the ghetto is nothing from what I saw. But this video shows parts of the ghetto I did not get to see. Thank you again Alina.
I am from Canada and this video brought back so many memories of my visit to Poland in 2001. I think Krakow is Poland's most beautiful city and I remember seeing all the places in this video. Poland is a beautiful country and a must see for a WW2 history buff. Great job Alina!
Thanks a lot for the feedback. I agree that Krakow is a beautiful city and there are lots of reasons to visit it, especially for people interested in history 💯
Thanks a lot for subscribing and for the feedback. I am glad you liked this video and hope you’ll have a wonderful time in Poland. It’s a lovely country with a lot of history.
Very interesting video on a piece of very sad history. So many historic places to see there, full of emotion😔 A lot of information provided, well done….
Thank you for this video, it popped up on my recommended and I'm so glad I clicked. You talked about it so respectfully while still being really interesting. I haven't visited Krakow but since going to Warsaw in 2019 I've wanted to see more of Poland and this has reminded me I need to book another trip. I went to the site of the Jewish Ghetto and the memorial in Warsaw which was very moving
Thank you for your very kind words! I haven’t been to Warsaw but I would really like to go! It must be a very interesting city as well. I can only recommend a visit to Krakow. It’s such a beautiful city and full of history.
Wonderful job telling the story of the Jewish people. We are traveling to Krakow this Christmas season and look forward to paying our respects to the people who's lives where destroyed by the Nazi's.
I am very happy to hear that you liked this video. And I agree: I also think that history is important to learn from our past. We cannot change our past but it's important not to repeat our mistakes. Also thank you for the coffee ☕️🤗
Kudos for making such a valuable video. You have a true talent for this, managing to pack in a comprehensive summary of the history of the Jewish people in Cracow during the Holocaust into a 16-minute video, and doing it in a humane and historically informative way.
My wife and I were in Warsaw 2 thru 7 July 24. We also visited the main camps and the Market Square in Krakow. We missed the areas in your video at the time but have now learned much from your passionate video. From Washington State, USA. We did visit Warsaw Uprising Museum and Old Town, also learning much. I've added a few books to my collection and to share with others to learn and remember, as you've taught. We stayed at Polonia Palace Hotel in Warsaw Central area.
I missed Warsaw this time but it’s definitely on my list! I’m glad though that you still learnt something from my video and that I was able to also show you places you haven’t seen yet.
Thank you for your tour, I have been to krakow twice, and I knew of the camp but yes, I had no idea where it was. Krakow is an amazing place to visit. Would love to go back again…
The camp is quite far from the center, so I understand that a lot of people don’t have it in mind when visiting Krakow. But it’s definitely worth it to go there. And I agree: Krakow is a super beautiful city and full of history. I’d also love to go back someday to get to know it even better ☺️
Thanks for the knowledge given Aliena. MY HIGHEST RESPECT TO YOU. A Concise History of Poland 🇵🇱 by Jerzy Lukowski and Hubert Zawadzki gave me a knowledge about Poland 🇵🇱. This help me to pass my masters degree in History. Good evening from Colombo Sri Lanka.

This is so beautiful! I visited Krakow and saw the remains of the wall and those chairs. I also visited Schindler's factory and Auschwitz but missed Plaszov. Very touched by your information on site. I plan a visit to Warsaw on Remembrance Day next year.
Brilliant informative video. Thank you for making this. I have never traveled anywhere in the world, but this is one place I would like to see. There is so much history that I feel is important to never forget. Thank you.
It definitely is worth to travel to Krakow. But I’m happy that via this channel I am able to show such important places to people who may not be able to travel there themselves. I am glad you found this video informative:)
Your video is a telling reminder of just how important people are. Watching it, and remembering what happened here is moving and should be essential viewing for everyone, especially the young who should grow up valuing people for who they are, not what nationality, or religion or race they are. This all occurred in my lifetime and we must do all we can, all of us, to do our utmost to educate people to ensure this never happens again. I type this with a tear in my eye.
I will be in Krakow next May. I plan to visit the places you featured to pay my respects. I'm not Jewish and coming from Australia but I feel it's a journey that should be made by all who can make it. Thank you for this very informative video.
Very informative. Having visited the Krakow a few years ago, its very good to see that the Jewish quarter recovering with young Jewish people, and once more become the cultural center of Europe.Thank you for the vid. Please use the proper pronunciation of the city, and not the American mispronouncing of the Polish W. With respect from North West London
..."the Krakow"... without "the"... It is absolutely proper pronunciation of the city when she is speaking English, ie: "Krakau". I live here, and speak Polish, and English.
I am so thankful for you making these videos. You have shown and taught me things that I didn't know. I'm from South Africa and have great interest in the second world war due to my granfathers involvement as a soldier in Egypt and Italy fighting for the British. Please keep up the fantastic work and videos. Thank you again
Absolutely fantastic video so informative. We had 4 days in September 24 we done the camps it was heartbreaking 😢 my wife and i left our phones turned off . Anyway we hv booked up again for January 25 🥶 we absolutely love Krakow and everyone is so friendly we going to see the nice things nxt time 😊
It definitely is a heartbreaking experience but at the same time also so important to remember it. I agree. Polish people are so nice and Krakow is such a wonderful city. I would also love to go back!
An excellent and very informative video. I don't know if the editing made the sound jump as it did but otherwise this was really good. Thank-you for sharing this.
Unfortunately the sound jumps were the result of some kind of glitch during the uploading process 🥲 I hope it wasn’t too disturbing. Thanks a lot for watching!
Tremendo video Alina me gusto como en el vídeo vas presentando los hechos de manera objetiva y manteniendo el interés.. y justamente hoy 1ero de septiembre.. te felicito alina muchos éxitos de aqui en adelante. Me gustan tus videos
Gracias Rafael! Me alegro que también te guste este video aunque fue un poco más serio. Me parece un tema muy importante que necesitamos recordar. Y fue muy interesante para mí buscar informaciones de cómo fue esta época en Cracovia.
Very interesting. Thank you. I didn’t realise that there was another concentration camp in Krakow. I was aware of Schindler’s humanity through Thomas Keneally’s book “ Schindler’s Ark” and Steven Spielberg’s film “Schindler’s List” - both excellent.
This is an excellent video. Thank you for making it. It's historically accurate, and tells the story of the plight of the Jewish population with great empathy and understanding. I visited Krakow a few years ago. An amazing city with such a vivid history. I also visited the site of Kraków-Płaszów Concentration Camp which was a harrowing experience. The site has little physical remnants of its past, except perhaps for the "villa", but the museum and the memorials tell the story in great detail and are very moving and thought-provoking. I also visited Auschwitz-Birkenau which was equally harrowing. Thank you for telling the history of Krakow and Kraków-Płaszów. I hope many people see this video.
Thank you so much for taking the time to sent me this very kind feedback and tell us about your personal experiences. I agree that Krakow is a beautiful city and worth a visit because of that and because of its history. On Sunday I will publish the video about my visit to Auschwitz. I felt like it is also important to remember the deadliest concentration camp. I hope you’ll find this video just as interesting.
I recently took a trip to Krakow with my school and this is an absolutely incredible video. For people who have been to Krakow, this video will definitely be more impactful to them, but nevertheless the video is so educational if you haven't been to Krakow as well. I learned some stuff about the Plaszow Labour Camp, as my trip was centred around a tour of Auschwitz Birkenau. We also toured the Jewish Quarter and that for me was one of the best moments of the trip. I loved the tiny details of the stones on the tombstones, the shape of the Ghetto wall, and the way the chairs face and their significance to the entire story of Krakow;s WW2 experience. This video is incredible.
Thank you so much for your feedback and for sharing your own experience in Krakow. Krakow is a beautiful and yet very moving city due to its history. I feel like especially nowadays it is so important to educate people on this topic. We cannot forget about our past and must remember and learn from it to take better decisions for our future 🙏🏻
Great video Alina. I feel it is a very important time now to remember our shadows. It is better to face our demons because one they will visit us again.
I must congratulate you not only on the excellence of this moving video.....but also on your command of the English language. Thank you Alina. Greetings from Australia. Les Griffiths n
Dear young lady, i am in the USA and am a history buff. I loved your video because being able to see actual places is very moving to me. Well done.
Thank you so much! It’s great to hear that you enjoyed this video! I hope you’ll also enjoy next Sundays video. I will take you on a tour through Auschwitz in that one. So it’ll also be a very moving topic.

I have never come across your channel but headed to Poland next week and found this video. I am now a subscriber based on this awesome video.
Thanks a lot for subscribing and for the feedback. I am glad you liked this video and hope you’ll have a wonderful time in Poland. It’s a lovely country with a lot of history.
I was just in Krakow to learn about what happened there. Your video gave me more information that I did not know about, thank you!
Thank you for your feedback! I’m glad I could give you some further information about that time in Krakow.
Very interesting video on a piece of very sad history. So many historic places to see there, full of emotion😔 A lot of information provided, well done….
Thank you for your feedback. It is a very sad part of our history and yet so important to remember and to learn from it 🙏🏻
Thank you for this video, it popped up on my recommended and I'm so glad I clicked. You talked about it so respectfully while still being really interesting. I haven't visited Krakow but since going to Warsaw in 2019 I've wanted to see more of Poland and this has reminded me I need to book another trip. I went to the site of the Jewish Ghetto and the memorial in Warsaw which was very moving
Thank you for your very kind words! I haven’t been to Warsaw but I would really like to go! It must be a very interesting city as well.
I can only recommend a visit to Krakow. It’s such a beautiful city and full of history.
Appreciate the fact that there was no waffle, and you went straight in there - with facts, and were engaging while you were doing so
Thank you for your feedback!
Wonderful job telling the story of the Jewish people. We are traveling to Krakow this Christmas season and look forward to paying our respects to the people who's lives where destroyed by the Nazi's.
Thank. you for making this video. It's very important to always remember these events. Regardless of how horrific.
Thank you for watching! I totally agree. We must remember our past to take better decisions in the future 🙏🏻
Brilliant. Been to krakow twice but now I've seen your video will have to come again! Thank you
Thank you for this presentation of history. Let us not forget 🙏
Thank you for watching!
Very informative and very respectful. 🇨🇦
Thank you so much for the feedback!
I really like this version of your videos because I like history, also I think that is really important to remember what you’re showing. Thanks 😊
I am very happy to hear that you liked this video. And I agree: I also think that history is important to learn from our past. We cannot change our past but it's important not to repeat our mistakes.
Also thank you for the coffee ☕️🤗
Kudos for making such a valuable video. You have a true talent for this, managing to pack in a comprehensive summary of the history of the Jewish people in Cracow during the Holocaust into a 16-minute video, and doing it in a humane and historically informative way.
Thank you for this video.
I’m a documentary filmmaker myself with work on Netflix, and this was very well done.
Good luck to you.
Thank you so much for your feedback! It means a lot 🥹
Hi alina we were all around there in krakow in febuary it was very interesting great programme alina Paul from england UK 🇬🇧❤
Thanks a lot Paul for your feedback!
@@aventuralina love Poland awesome country ❤️
New subscriber here. Excellent video. Breaks my heart to hear of all the cruelty toward the Jewish people.😢❤️🇺🇸. Thank you for doing this.
Thank you so much for your feedback and welcome to my channel. I’m planning to upload further videos about that topic in a few weeks.
Hi Alina. Thank you for your video. I find it unsettling that this all was occurring just ten years before I was born. Keep up the good work.
Thanks a lot for your feedback! It’s quite upsetting that all of this happened not too long ago.
My wife and I were in Warsaw 2 thru 7 July 24. We also visited the main camps and the Market Square in Krakow. We missed the areas in your video at the time but have now learned much from your passionate video. From Washington State, USA. We did visit Warsaw Uprising Museum and Old Town, also learning much. I've added a few books to my collection and to share with others to learn and remember, as you've taught. We stayed at Polonia Palace Hotel in Warsaw Central area.
I missed Warsaw this time but it’s definitely on my list! I’m glad though that you still learnt something from my video and that I was able to also show you places you haven’t seen yet.
@@aventuralina thanks for your note.
Great commentating about a dark history and cruelty of what humans do to each other. You have a wonderful voice too, young lady. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind feedback :)
A wonderful piece. An excellent job. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for your tour, I have been to krakow twice, and I knew of the camp but yes, I had no idea where it was. Krakow is an amazing place to visit.
Would love to go back again…
The camp is quite far from the center, so I understand that a lot of people don’t have it in mind when visiting Krakow. But it’s definitely worth it to go there.
And I agree: Krakow is a super beautiful city and full of history. I’d also love to go back someday to get to know it even better ☺️
Very good interesting video and very well presented. I have just got back from Krakow so watching this was very educational
I’m glad you found this educational :)
Thank you for watching!
Thank you, sincerely, for your good work with this video.
Thank you for watching!
My Grandad who I never met was from Krakow. Thank you so much for your video.
Thank you for watching. I'm sorry that you were never able to meet your grandfather.
Thanks for the knowledge given Aliena. MY HIGHEST RESPECT TO YOU. A Concise History of Poland 🇵🇱 by Jerzy Lukowski and Hubert Zawadzki gave me a knowledge about Poland 🇵🇱. This help me to pass my masters degree in History. Good evening from Colombo Sri Lanka.

Thanks a lot for your feedback! I’m glad to hear that you found this video helpful :)
This is so beautiful! I visited Krakow and saw the remains of the wall and those chairs. I also visited Schindler's factory and Auschwitz but missed Plaszov. Very touched by your information on site. I plan a visit to Warsaw on Remembrance Day next year.
Thanks a lot for your feedback! Warsaw is also still a place I’d like to visit.
Thank you for this video. Wish I had a history teacher like you! Very well explained 👌
Thank you so much for your kind feedback and for watching :)
Brilliant informative video. Thank you for making this. I have never traveled anywhere in the world, but this is one place I would like to see. There is so much history that I feel is important to never forget. Thank you.
It definitely is worth to travel to Krakow. But I’m happy that via this channel I am able to show such important places to people who may not be able to travel there themselves. I am glad you found this video informative:)
This was excellent. I am visiting this whole area next year. Thank-you for taking the time out to make this documentary.
Really this is an incredible video. Thank you. I watch a lot documentaries and this is really well done and so informative.
Thanks a lot for the feedback!
👍👏Perfect, Alina. All the best to you from Brazil.
Thanks a lot. I’m happy you enjoyed this video 😊
Thank you for the excellent narrative on this terrible tragedy.
Your video is a telling reminder of just how important people are. Watching it, and remembering what happened here is moving and should be essential viewing for everyone, especially the young who should grow up valuing people for who they are, not what nationality, or religion or race they are. This all occurred in my lifetime and we must do all we can, all of us, to do our utmost to educate people to ensure this never happens again. I type this with a tear in my eye.
I will be in Krakow next May. I plan to visit the places you featured to pay my respects. I'm not Jewish and coming from Australia but I feel it's a journey that should be made by all who can make it. Thank you for this very informative video.
Thank you for watching and for your feedback!
Very informative. Having visited the Krakow a few years ago, its very good to see that the Jewish quarter recovering with young Jewish people, and once more become the cultural center of Europe.Thank you for the vid. Please use the proper pronunciation of the city, and not the American mispronouncing of the Polish W. With respect from North West London
..."the Krakow"... without "the"... It is absolutely proper pronunciation of the city when she is speaking English, ie: "Krakau". I live here, and speak Polish, and English.
Good video! Have to go back again and visit Krakow again.
Thanks a lot for the feedback! Krakow is always worth a visit :)
I am so thankful for you making these videos. You have shown and taught me things that I didn't know. I'm from South Africa and have great interest in the second world war due to my granfathers involvement as a soldier in Egypt and Italy fighting for the British. Please keep up the fantastic work and videos. Thank you again
Absolutely fantastic video so informative. We had 4 days in September 24 we done the camps it was heartbreaking 😢 my wife and i left our phones turned off . Anyway we hv booked up again for January 25 🥶 we absolutely love Krakow and everyone is so friendly we going to see the nice things nxt time 😊
It definitely is a heartbreaking experience but at the same time also so important to remember it.
I agree. Polish people are so nice and Krakow is such a wonderful city. I would also love to go back!
An excellent and very informative video. I don't know if the editing made the sound jump as it did but otherwise this was really good. Thank-you for sharing this.
Unfortunately the sound jumps were the result of some kind of glitch during the uploading process 🥲 I hope it wasn’t too disturbing. Thanks a lot for watching!
Very well put together video, I visited Krakow two years ago it was interesting to see the places again. Subscibed !
Thank you for your feedback and welcome to my channel :)
very informative and wonderfully presented, thank you Alina.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for telling the world. Peace to all.
Thank you for watching!
thank you so much for this excellent piece. i visited Krakow earlier this year but unfortunately didn’t get to see these places.
Thank you for watching. I’m glad I could show you a different sight of Krakow rather than just the typical places.
A valuable history lesson.
Excellent video … May we never forget.
Thank you!
Very sad, but most informative. I viewed SCHINDLER'S LIST to learn more.
Schindlers List is a really good and educative movie. I also liked it a lot and learnt a lot from it.
That was excellent, informative and superbly presented. Thank you
Thank you for your feedback!
Tremendo video Alina me gusto como en el vídeo vas presentando los hechos de manera objetiva y manteniendo el interés.. y justamente hoy 1ero de septiembre.. te felicito alina muchos éxitos de aqui en adelante. Me gustan tus videos
Gracias Rafael! Me alegro que también te guste este video aunque fue un poco más serio. Me parece un tema muy importante que necesitamos recordar. Y fue muy interesante para mí buscar informaciones de cómo fue esta época en Cracovia.
Great video, went to Krakow 2020, loved it and cant wait to return
Thank you. I agree. Krakow is a great city. I hope to return someday as well!
Just got back from 10 days in Portugal 🇵🇹
Next year I plan to visit Krakow 😊
You’ll like Krakow a lot! It’s a beautiful city to visit :)
I loved your vlog thank you. I am going to Krakow in the next few days and will visit these places. Thanks again
Thank you for watching! Have a wonderful time in Krakow. It’s a great city!
thank you for an important piece of history
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this very thoughtful film. Jana
Thank you for watching.
Very interesting. Thank you. I didn’t realise that there was another concentration camp in Krakow. I was aware of Schindler’s humanity through Thomas Keneally’s book “ Schindler’s Ark” and Steven Spielberg’s film “Schindler’s List” - both excellent.
I only know the movie Schindlers list and agree. It’s very recommendable 👍🏼
Fantastic job on this video. Thank you for telling this story.
Thank you for watching!
I have plans to visit this Fall. Thanks for your sensitive treatment of this topic.
Thank you for watching!
This is an excellent video. Thank you for making it. It's historically accurate, and tells the story of the plight of the Jewish population with great empathy and understanding. I visited Krakow a few years ago. An amazing city with such a vivid history. I also visited the site of Kraków-Płaszów Concentration Camp which was a harrowing experience. The site has little physical remnants of its past, except perhaps for the "villa", but the museum and the memorials tell the story in great detail and are very moving and thought-provoking. I also visited Auschwitz-Birkenau which was equally harrowing. Thank you for telling the history of Krakow and Kraków-Płaszów. I hope many people see this video.
Thank you so much for taking the time to sent me this very kind feedback and tell us about your personal experiences. I agree that Krakow is a beautiful city and worth a visit because of that and because of its history.
On Sunday I will publish the video about my visit to Auschwitz. I felt like it is also important to remember the deadliest concentration camp. I hope you’ll find this video just as interesting.
A very sad but excellent documentary, well done,young lady.🎉❤ 🇬🇧
I highly appreciate your kind words!
Great video, thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching!
I recently took a trip to Krakow with my school and this is an absolutely incredible video. For people who have been to Krakow, this video will definitely be more impactful to them, but nevertheless the video is so educational if you haven't been to Krakow as well. I learned some stuff about the Plaszow Labour Camp, as my trip was centred around a tour of Auschwitz Birkenau. We also toured the Jewish Quarter and that for me was one of the best moments of the trip. I loved the tiny details of the stones on the tombstones, the shape of the Ghetto wall, and the way the chairs face and their significance to the entire story of Krakow;s WW2 experience. This video is incredible.
Thank you so much for your feedback and for sharing your own experience in Krakow. Krakow is a beautiful and yet very moving city due to its history. I feel like especially nowadays it is so important to educate people on this topic. We cannot forget about our past and must remember and learn from it to take better decisions for our future 🙏🏻
Great video Alina. I feel it is a very important time now to remember our shadows. It is better to face our demons because one they will visit us again.
I totally agree with that 💯 We can’t change the past but we can learn from it 🙏🏻
Excelente video, súper interesante la historia . Felicitaciones. Un ejemplo de lo que es La Resiliencia. Besos .❤
Gracias Tania 🫶🏼
I must congratulate you not only on the excellence of this moving video.....but also on your command of the English language. Thank you Alina. Greetings from Australia.
