Highlight of the day was the Auschwitz Concentration Camp, the most infamous amongst the 41 known camps in Europe. It's about World War II... where more than one million of people came without leaving the place. One could not imagine why mankind could do such to fellow mankind... where's the humanity?
The 'welcome' message read something like "Work will set you free..." So deceiving!
This was the railway terminal where thousands of people were sent from all over Europe, where they were 'sorted' accordingly to their country of origin, race, etc. Some were sent straight to the gas chamber from here...
These were the 'beds' of the prisoners... for women... each 'compartment' would 'pack' up 7 human beings!
From there, we proceed to the Jewish Quarter in Krakow, where only a small number left (after they were driven out by the Germans during WWII)
See the signature symbols/ decoration in the external of this cafe/shophouse?
In the afternoon, we proceeded to the Royal Castel at Wawel Hill and visited the Church of Virigin Mary that came with very elaborately decorated - one word to describe ~ lavished!
