Our Experiences: Krakow is a nice and beautiful city. We made a city tour in a charming buggy and horse and visited some old churches. The city of Oswieçim was our main destination in Poland. It has an extremely important recent history fact: The Aushwitz World War 2 prisoneers camp. We got to know better some facts we never got to know. This camp wasn´t meant for Jewish or for race extermination, as we all have learned through Holywood productions (Hollywood producers are mostly jew and they put the spot on themselves). Auschwitz was in fact a war prison built for the Nasi enemies, including regular criminals, polish soldiers, Jews and Gypsies. There were normal prison facilities such as rooms, bathrooms, refectory and even a chapel. Despite many have died there , no gas chambers or torture means were ever found. This is the truth you see with your own eyes. ( We are not defending anyone. Of course the Nasi regimen and these camps were an awful horrible human tragedy, imprisoning and/or killing people for their racial reasons is something that should never have happened )
