Krakow is not all nice buildings and women. It's recent history has been associated with the Jewish people - or rather the attempted extermination of the Jewish race during World War II. It is after all the closest city to the biggest concentration camps built by the Nazis - I won't say most horrific ever as we all now know, the North Koreans have got worse gulags in their country.
It is easy to shy away from the horrific beast that is the history and background of the camps in the nearby town of Oswiecim (Auschwitz in German) but to do so, would be to say that life is always a bed of roses, and to continue living a lie that everything is good in life.
Words can't describe what I saw there so I will put them on here.
