Krakow, Poland & Auschwitz 02/07/2009
The cheapest flight to Israel this time was with LOT, the polish airline. I decided to make a holiday out of it, and I took the train down to Krakow to meet-up with my friend Katarzyna who lives there. While in Krakow, I was able to have Shabbat dinner at the Jewish Community Center that Prince Charles and World Jewish Relief built. I ate, drank alot of Polish hot chocolate (it is amazing), and toured Krakow's beautiful streets and buildings. I even slayed the dragon of the Castel of Krakow. On Sunday, I decided to visit Auschwitz and Birkenau - where the German Nazi's executed/tortured over 1,500,000 people. 1.5 MILLION PEOPLE, mainly Jews. It was hard, but I am glad I have experienced it. While there, I slipped on the ice and fell pretty hard. My camera was smashed - and is now broken, but I was able to get some photos with my iphone (thankfully). CommentsLeave a Reply |
