Dzień dobry,
Poland was magical and heartbreaking. The history is paliable,
Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1941, beginning WWII. Polish intilectuals were rounded up and shot. Jews were rounded up and placed in ghettos to be sent to concentration camps and extermination centers.
I took a sleeper from Prague to Warsaw. It was one of the most amazing experiences on my journey. Early morning I steped off the train in Warsaw.
Traveling through Poland was an amazing experience. Filled with rich history and of course unimaginable human suffering. I spent about three weeks traveling to various ghettos, concentration camps, killing pits and killing centers. Some pages only have a few pictures but I wanted to share it anyway.
