Thank you so much! It’s great to hear that you enjoyed this video! I hope you’ll also enjoy next Sundays video. I will take you on a tour through Auschwitz in that one. So it’ll also be a very moving topic.
I tell you, I am German and I had a tour of Krakow in 2006. I had a great time in an incredibly beautiful city worth of visiting. When we had a tour of the holocaust museum and the tunnel of the ghetto I started crying so much that I could not go to the concentration camp . Unbelievable that today we accept people wishing for liquidation of Jews again!
I am german, 43 years old and I want to thank you from the Bottom of my Heart. Its important to do such Videos and that People will remember the injustice and inhumanity that happend and that is the responsibility of all of us that this will never happen again.
I am 66, and only some members of both my parents' Germanic families escaped the genocides of the Stalin regime, which in ideology was very different, but still equally brutal, including to Jewish colonies who were neighbors of my family. Germany might have held the top Nazi regime, but much of our world has held and still holds deep-rooted antisemitic views. I believe that we need to speak up for humanity and truth.
I totally agree. We have to learn from our past and we can only do so if we remember it. Besides that all of the victims deserve to be remembered and I am glad that I can use my platform to keep telling this part of our history.
i am 15 and the same exact shit is happening in Gaza and Ukraine, so you either need to finish a school or select someone else than the communist Ferkel ape
Well done. I was in Krakow two years ago and saw much of what was shown here.She explained things very well, especially the difference between the Jewish Quarter and the Ghetto. I salute her.
Thank you for your video and explanations. I had wondered how much was left from that terrible time in Poland’s history. I’ll take a look at more if your work.
My dear grandfather was the soul Survivor out of our family living in Germany, He lost both parents, siblings, his entire family & everyone he knew all sent to parish at Auschwitz. Being Jewish I Thank you for keeping their memories alive. Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱
I am sorry about the loss of huge parts of your family… And I thank you for your words. It means a lot that you liked the video and how I treated this part of our history. I will also show Auschwitz in the next video on Sunday. It’s a terrible place and yet so important to ensure that the people who have lost their lives in Auschwitz will forever be remembered. We can’t change our past but we can learn from it. May all the innocent souls that have died during World War II never be forgotten 🙏🏻
I am a friend of Israel and find it amusing that Hitler considered his people the "aryan" race. He is dead and his movement is associated with people that are mentally disturbed whereas the Jewish people live and prosper and have their own country now. The Jews are the true Aryans because they defeated Nazism. Long live the Jewish people.
I was in Krakow in 1976. It was difficult to find someone who would take me to these sites. The Polish people I met were either in denial, wanted to forget or, worst of all, told an alternative history. Thank you, dear one, for telling this story. May we never forget.
Why should they want to relive it for you? 16% of the Polish people were killed in WW II not just Jews. At the end of the war the worl abandoned them for 50 years.
It's a day that needs to be remembered. A very important day of European history and we definitely should never forget our history here. We need to remember our past and learn from our mistakes to create a better future 🙏🏼
@@aventuralina Not exactly working out that way, is it? Melting kids who are trapped within a concentration camp, in 2024... I guess you need God on your side to make it ok.
A truly great video, many thanks for posting. I visited Babi Yar in Ukraine and Maly Trostonets outside Minsk in Belarus. I hope to visit Krakow, Poland within the next few years. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Schindler provided the Polish uniforms to the SS for the fake attack on the German radio station that day that was the pretext or the invasion of Poland.
What a wonderful job of retelling such a grim period of world history. You’ve done your part in reminding the world what happened in Krakow so the public can drown out the deniers that live among us.
Excellent and informative video! What I liked most was the sensitive and empathetic manner in which you presented the history of an extremely horrific era. Truth must endure.
That was a very educational video. Seeing what places of history look like . I spent 12 years in the U.S. Army and love military history. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for sharing your video. I was visiting your country and also Krakow not long ago and I saw some of the sites that you just spoke about and it hurt me dearly. I’m an African-American Christian and just want you to know that I appreciate what you are doing and I wish I could’ve met you while I was there. Thank you so much. May you and your family be blessed.
Alina thanks for the lovely way you presented this to us , however in an ideal world there wouldn't be this horrible dark past. I'm a British Christian and so ashamed this happened.
The truth about what the Nazis did to the Jews was not broadcast to the general population until after the war. No need to feel ashamed as it was not your fault, but the fault of the Nazis. All we can do is pray for a better world, and criticise the leaders of countries who ill treat people.
@@rafd3593 I couldn’t agree more with this. Unfortunately there are some people in power are misusing that power, that has an impact on millions of people. And this is happening in far more countries than most people are aware of…
Wonderful tour of Krakow and shared history of the fate of Jewish people in the city during WWII. Thank you! I just visited Terezin in the Czech Republic which the Czechs have developed to share the important history of this ghetto and extermination camp. So important to keep sharing with all generations 🌸🌸
My wife and i visited the beautiful city of Krakow from the UK... A place i allways felt i needed to travel to.. We did the city buggy tour with great interest.. Also taking in the concentration cap at Auschwitz. A truely moving experience.. Umaware of the camp in Krakow we will be returning to this incredible city a second time.. Thanks 🙏
Krakow is definitely a great city to visit. It’s beautiful and full of history. I think a lot of people aren’t aware of the camp in Krakow. I’m glad I was able to show you something you haven’t seen yet.
@@kevbrown7137 Thank you. I will try to visit Krakow myself too. So very much to learn here and hopefully, inform and educate , in order to work for peace, wherever we can.
Thank you Alina! Again a wonderfully presented video! It is unbelievable isn’t it that this happened relatively recently - how could that be? Thank you for your compassionate presentation 🙏
From a 73 year old Lutheran American with a Jewish husband and in-laws: this was a MARVELOUS video. I have read about the Warsaw ghetto, but I didn't know there was an extermination camp right in Cracow. I was very interested in those chair sculptures and their meanings. The pharmacy where the owner was Jew-friendly, and then seeing Schindler's factory -- all very interesting to see. Very good tour. So often important historic sites are overgrown and people just don't know about them so it was excellent to see this monument at the Cracow extermination camp. THANK YOU for keeping Jewish history alive -- we must always be informed about the truth, and spread it around. I am going to put your link on Facebook so more people can see it. I will view more of your videos; thank you so much Alina for doing these interesting videos.
Thank you so much for your words! It means a lot 🥹 Also thank you for sharing the video. I will try to visit more places like this one in the upcoming months and tell more stories of the victims of WWII. It is so important to keep their memories alive. We cannot change what happened to them, but we can take better choices in the future 🙏🏻
Thank you for this informative video,I was in Krakow 9 years ago did everything to do with the holocaust it was heartbreaking,but I am also interested in the Polish history and I love listening to the Polish language ,I hope to visit again some day .I read the book of the pharmacist of krakow ghetto,we had to wait 5hrs for our flight back home so read the whole book highly recommend it . Important work you are doing Alina especially for young people in your generation.❤
Thank you so much for your words. This part of our history truly is heartbreaking but so important to remember and I am thankful that I can educate people on this topic via my channel.
I happened to rewatch Schindler's List a couple of weeks ago and then chanced across this video today which gave additional perspective. Very well made and presented video, such a difficult and emotive history to cover, but well done and thank you.
Beautifully filmed and presented, very well done young lady. This dark period of WW2 should be in the system of schools curriculum all over the world. I’m from Manchester, England, and visited Auschwitz 1 and Birkenau in April 2002 whilst working in the Czech Republic, both are harrowing places, especially Birkenau, I went into the watchtower at the main entrance overlooking the camp, and the first thing that struck me was the size of it. Glad I went, but wouldn’t want to go again.
Thank you so much for your feedback. It truly is an important place to visit to better understand and learn from our past. But it’s definitively also a very shocking experience and I totally understand if you don’t want to experience that a second time.
@@aventuralina Alina you’re obviously a very intelligent girl, who cares very much about human history. Remember history is the greatest subject, without it we have nothing. The great philosopher George Santayana once said “ those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it”. An iconic statement. Keep up your great work Alina.
Thanks a lot for subscribing and for the feedback. I am glad you liked this video and hope you’ll have a wonderful time in Poland. It’s a lovely country with a lot of history.
Fascinating. Thank you so much for this upload. My great-grandmother was born in Krakow, though most of her immediate family came to the US around WWI.
Kudos for making such a valuable video. You have a true talent for this, managing to pack in a comprehensive summary of the history of the Jewish people in Cracow during the Holocaust into a 16-minute video, and doing it in a humane and historically informative way.
Very well done. I was recently in Krakow to learn about what happened and your video added additional information that filled several gaps that I did not know about. I really appreciate it!
Thank you for this video young lady. As a kid in the 1960's, I would see WWII footage on television all the time, and both my grandfathers were World War vets. I'm glad a newer generation is teaching this history,
Thank you for this video, it popped up on my recommended and I'm so glad I clicked. You talked about it so respectfully while still being really interesting. I haven't visited Krakow but since going to Warsaw in 2019 I've wanted to see more of Poland and this has reminded me I need to book another trip. I went to the site of the Jewish Ghetto and the memorial in Warsaw which was very moving
Thank you for your very kind words! I haven’t been to Warsaw but I would really like to go! It must be a very interesting city as well. I can only recommend a visit to Krakow. It’s such a beautiful city and full of history.
Wonderful job telling the story of the Jewish people. We are traveling to Krakow this Christmas season and look forward to paying our respects to the people who's lives where destroyed by the Nazi's.
This was a fascinating documentary. I visited Krakow not long ago and heard a lot of these stories however I was delighted to hear these stories again and to learn more.
Thank you so much for your feedback! I’m glad you liked it. There will be more videos of this kind coming out this Sunday and the next. Hope you’ll like them as well.
I am very happy to hear that you liked this video. And I agree: I also think that history is important to learn from our past. We cannot change our past but it's important not to repeat our mistakes. Also thank you for the coffee ☕️🤗
I watch a lot of history videos on UA-cam, so your video popped up as a recommendation. Excellent work. While I've seen videos covering the invasion of Poland and what happened to the Jews, I've never seen a video where someone actually went to the various sites and explained what happened. Bravo.
Thank you so much for your feedback! I think it’s important to not only talk about what happened but also show the places. It becomes way more real when you see where these things were happening.
I am from Canada and this video brought back so many memories of my visit to Poland in 2001. I think Krakow is Poland's most beautiful city and I remember seeing all the places in this video. Poland is a beautiful country and a must see for a WW2 history buff. Great job Alina!
Thanks a lot for the feedback. I agree that Krakow is a beautiful city and there are lots of reasons to visit it, especially for people interested in history 💯
Great video and beautifully narrated. I am French born and visited Krakow in 1990. I was 15 at the time and was there because my father, a Poland lover, organized student exchange programs. Our host family took us to the Jewish ghetto, which at the time was still 80% intact from WW2. We could see bomb impacts and bullet holes in walls, all over the streets. We were told that the renovated buildings belonged to Jews, mostly in Israel, who were survivors or descended from survivors. But only two or three buildings had been renovated then, all others were still in ruins and through boarded windows, we could see household objects such as dishes. The whole visit was very scary, eerie. If you visit I today, the ghetto is nothing from what I saw. But this video shows parts of the ghetto I did not get to see. Thank you again Alina.
I will be in Krakow next May. I plan to visit the places you featured to pay my respects. I'm not Jewish and coming from Australia but I feel it's a journey that should be made by all who can make it. Thank you for this very informative video.
Świetny materiał , merytorycznie i ciekawy. Podoba mi się choć używanie nazistowski nie dodając że chodzi o Niemców jest błędem . Nie pamiętam aby był kraj o nazwie Naziland . Jako Polacy powinniśmy dbać o właściwe nazewnictwo aby nie było wątpliwości a takie pojawiają się zwłaszcza wśród młodych ludzi . Czekam za kolejnymi odcinkami . Pozdrawiam
Brilliant informative video. Thank you for making this. I have never traveled anywhere in the world, but this is one place I would like to see. There is so much history that I feel is important to never forget. Thank you.
It definitely is worth to travel to Krakow. But I’m happy that via this channel I am able to show such important places to people who may not be able to travel there themselves. I am glad you found this video informative:)
I am so thankful for you making these videos. You have shown and taught me things that I didn't know. I'm from South Africa and have great interest in the second world war due to my granfathers involvement as a soldier in Egypt and Italy fighting for the British. Please keep up the fantastic work and videos. Thank you again
An excellent and very informative video. I don't know if the editing made the sound jump as it did but otherwise this was really good. Thank-you for sharing this.
Unfortunately the sound jumps were the result of some kind of glitch during the uploading process 🥲 I hope it wasn’t too disturbing. Thanks a lot for watching!
I’ve wanted to explore Krakow and wider Poland for a long time and I still plan to - this just reinforces what an interesting and thought-provoking experience it would be. Thank you.
Very informative. Having visited the Krakow a few years ago, its very good to see that the Jewish quarter recovering with young Jewish people, and once more become the cultural center of Europe.Thank you for the vid. Please use the proper pronunciation of the city, and not the American mispronouncing of the Polish W. With respect from North West London
..."the Krakow"... without "the"... It is absolutely proper pronunciation of the city when she is speaking English, ie: "Krakau". I live here, and speak Polish, and English.
Congratulations on this video Alina. You treated marvellously a very serious topic, and a very sad chapter of history. Many of the events you touch are the central theme of a cinema masterpiece, "Schindler's List" by celebrated director Steven Spielberg. In particular the brutal Kommandant of the Kraków-Płaszów Concentration Camp Amon Göth was played by English actor Ralph Fiennes, in a legendary role. Difficult area of #Poland, I guess, and indeed of the World. Hug and regards from Oceania.
Thank you for the feedback! Schindlers List is a great movie and perfect to understand much better the history of WWII in Krakow. So it’s definitely very recomendable 💯
Thank you for the feedback! Krakow really is worth a visit, not only because of its history but also because it is a great city in general. I created another video about its beautiful historical city center. Maybe you can find some more inspiration for your trip there :) ua-cam.com/video/9yqvM52boSo/v-deo.html
Have long thought of myself as a self-appointed expert on the history of the Third Reich but have learned many details since watching your videos. Your passion come through and the murdered and survivors of the Holocaust would be sure to thank you. Keep up the great work!
My wife and I were in Warsaw 2 thru 7 July 24. We also visited the main camps and the Market Square in Krakow. We missed the areas in your video at the time but have now learned much from your passionate video. From Washington State, USA. We did visit Warsaw Uprising Museum and Old Town, also learning much. I've added a few books to my collection and to share with others to learn and remember, as you've taught. We stayed at Polonia Palace Hotel in Warsaw Central area.
I missed Warsaw this time but it’s definitely on my list! I’m glad though that you still learnt something from my video and that I was able to also show you places you haven’t seen yet.
Thanks a lot for the feedback and welcome to my channel ☺️ Give me a few weeks and I will upload further videos about this topic. I’m currently working on them :)
Thank you for this video. I got back from Krakow yesterday. I went to Auschwitz and Birkenau which was traumatic. The Jewish quarter was stunning. Unfortunately I never got time to visit Schindler’s factory or the ghetto. You’re video as confirmed the longing to return as soon as possible. Thank you again x
Tremendo video Alina me gusto como en el vídeo vas presentando los hechos de manera objetiva y manteniendo el interés.. y justamente hoy 1ero de septiembre.. te felicito alina muchos éxitos de aqui en adelante. Me gustan tus videos
Gracias Rafael! Me alegro que también te guste este video aunque fue un poco más serio. Me parece un tema muy importante que necesitamos recordar. Y fue muy interesante para mí buscar informaciones de cómo fue esta época en Cracovia.
Hello, as a Jew who lived in Israel and most of the family murdered in LODZ ghetto and in Auschwitz. I would like to thank you for your amazing work. GOD BLESS YOU, thanks for being there. :)
This is an excellent video. Thank you for making it. It's historically accurate, and tells the story of the plight of the Jewish population with great empathy and understanding. I visited Krakow a few years ago. An amazing city with such a vivid history. I also visited the site of Kraków-Płaszów Concentration Camp which was a harrowing experience. The site has little physical remnants of its past, except perhaps for the "villa", but the museum and the memorials tell the story in great detail and are very moving and thought-provoking. I also visited Auschwitz-Birkenau which was equally harrowing. Thank you for telling the history of Krakow and Kraków-Płaszów. I hope many people see this video.
Thank you so much for taking the time to sent me this very kind feedback and tell us about your personal experiences. I agree that Krakow is a beautiful city and worth a visit because of that and because of its history. On Sunday I will publish the video about my visit to Auschwitz. I felt like it is also important to remember the deadliest concentration camp. I hope you’ll find this video just as interesting.
I must congratulate you not only on the excellence of this moving video.....but also on your command of the English language. Thank you Alina. Greetings from Australia. Les Griffiths n
Dear young lady, i am in the USA and am a history buff. I loved your video because being able to see actual places is very moving to me. Well done.
Thank you so much! It’s great to hear that you enjoyed this video! I hope you’ll also enjoy next Sundays video. I will take you on a tour through Auschwitz in that one. So it’ll also be a very moving topic.

I have never come across your channel but headed to Poland next week and found this video. I am now a subscriber based on this awesome video.
Thanks a lot for subscribing and for the feedback. I am glad you liked this video and hope you’ll have a wonderful time in Poland. It’s a lovely country with a lot of history.
Thank you so much for telling us the history , I appreciate your efforts in making a valuable documentary .
Thank you for watching and for your feedback!
A wonderful episode-thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Fascinating. Thank you so much for this upload. My great-grandmother was born in Krakow, though most of her immediate family came to the US around WWI.
This video was well done and you are a wonderful tour guide/narrator. Thank you for keeping this important part of history alive.
Thank you for your kind feedback :)
Kudos for making such a valuable video. You have a true talent for this, managing to pack in a comprehensive summary of the history of the Jewish people in Cracow during the Holocaust into a 16-minute video, and doing it in a humane and historically informative way.
Thank you so much for your very kind feedback ☺️
I watch a lot of UA-cam history videos. This video is well made, informative and has a great pace. Keep these coming!
Thanks a lot for your feedback! I really appreciate it 😊
Very well done. I was recently in Krakow to learn about what happened and your video added additional information that filled several gaps that I did not know about. I really appreciate it!
Thank you for watching and for your feedback! I really appreciate it and am glad I could fill in some gaps ☺️
I was just in Krakow to learn about what happened there. Your video gave me more information that I did not know about, thank you!
Thank you for your feedback! I’m glad I could give you some further information about that time in Krakow.
Thoughtful, fact filled, presentation. Excellent narration. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Thank you for the feedback!
Thank you for creating and sharing this video of great historical value. We need to keep history alive.
I agree. Thank you for watching.
Thank you for this video young lady. As a kid in the 1960's, I would see WWII footage on television all the time, and both my grandfathers were World War vets. I'm glad a newer generation is teaching this history,
It’s important to not forget about our past and I am glad that with this channel I can help to remember it.
Hi Alina. Thank you for your video. I find it unsettling that this all was occurring just ten years before I was born. Keep up the good work.
Thanks a lot for your feedback! It’s quite upsetting that all of this happened not too long ago.
Thank you for this video, it popped up on my recommended and I'm so glad I clicked. You talked about it so respectfully while still being really interesting. I haven't visited Krakow but since going to Warsaw in 2019 I've wanted to see more of Poland and this has reminded me I need to book another trip. I went to the site of the Jewish Ghetto and the memorial in Warsaw which was very moving
Thank you for your very kind words! I haven’t been to Warsaw but I would really like to go! It must be a very interesting city as well.
I can only recommend a visit to Krakow. It’s such a beautiful city and full of history.
Wonderful job telling the story of the Jewish people. We are traveling to Krakow this Christmas season and look forward to paying our respects to the people who's lives where destroyed by the Nazi's.
This was a fascinating documentary. I visited Krakow not long ago and heard a lot of these stories however I was delighted to hear these stories again and to learn more.
Thank you so much for your words. I am happy to hear that you learnt a few more things :)
Alina, this video was very well put together. I am a WWII history buff, I learned alot from your video. I look forward to your next video. Great job.
Thank you so much for your feedback! I’m glad you liked it. There will be more videos of this kind coming out this Sunday and the next. Hope you’ll like them as well.
You really tell/show history well. Thank you!
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
I really like this version of your videos because I like history, also I think that is really important to remember what you’re showing. Thanks 😊
I am very happy to hear that you liked this video. And I agree: I also think that history is important to learn from our past. We cannot change our past but it's important not to repeat our mistakes.
Also thank you for the coffee ☕️🤗
I am Jewish and my grandparents survived the holocaust, thank you for shining a light on the important history
We have to remember what they’ve been through and hopefully learn from our past. Thank you for watching!
@@aventuralina You are committing genocide in Palestine currently, so i'd say you've learned jack shit bitsch
Just out of curiosity, do you condemn the bombings of Gaza or do you feel like it is justified?
@@snapper9191
This is a very complicated topic.
I don't have enough information. However, don't start a war that you can't win
Thank you for making this video and sharing this. Love from North Wales
Thank you for watching!
I watch a lot of history videos on UA-cam, so your video popped up as a recommendation. Excellent work. While I've seen videos covering the invasion of Poland and what happened to the Jews, I've never seen a video where someone actually went to the various sites and explained what happened. Bravo.
Thank you so much for your feedback! I think it’s important to not only talk about what happened but also show the places. It becomes way more real when you see where these things were happening.
I am from Canada and this video brought back so many memories of my visit to Poland in 2001. I think Krakow is Poland's most beautiful city and I remember seeing all the places in this video. Poland is a beautiful country and a must see for a WW2 history buff. Great job Alina!
Thanks a lot for the feedback. I agree that Krakow is a beautiful city and there are lots of reasons to visit it, especially for people interested in history 💯
Great video and beautifully narrated. I am French born and visited Krakow in 1990. I was 15 at the time and was there because my father, a Poland lover, organized student exchange programs. Our host family took us to the Jewish ghetto, which at the time was still 80% intact from WW2. We could see bomb impacts and bullet holes in walls, all over the streets. We were told that the renovated buildings belonged to Jews, mostly in Israel, who were survivors or descended from survivors. But only two or three buildings had been renovated then, all others were still in ruins and through boarded windows, we could see household objects such as dishes. The whole visit was very scary, eerie. If you visit I today, the ghetto is nothing from what I saw. But this video shows parts of the ghetto I did not get to see. Thank you again Alina.
Thank you for watching and for sharing your own experience in Krakow. It’s very interesting how much the city has changed over the years.
I will be in Krakow next May. I plan to visit the places you featured to pay my respects. I'm not Jewish and coming from Australia but I feel it's a journey that should be made by all who can make it. Thank you for this very informative video.
Thank you for watching and for your feedback!
I am from the USA, Alina. I am very moved by your history video, seeing the actual places of life and of death in Krakow. Bless you.
Thank you for your words!
Świetny materiał , merytorycznie i ciekawy. Podoba mi się choć używanie nazistowski nie dodając że chodzi o Niemców jest błędem . Nie pamiętam aby był kraj o nazwie Naziland . Jako Polacy powinniśmy dbać o właściwe nazewnictwo aby nie było wątpliwości a takie pojawiają się zwłaszcza wśród młodych ludzi . Czekam za kolejnymi odcinkami . Pozdrawiam
Brilliant informative video. Thank you for making this. I have never traveled anywhere in the world, but this is one place I would like to see. There is so much history that I feel is important to never forget. Thank you.
It definitely is worth to travel to Krakow. But I’m happy that via this channel I am able to show such important places to people who may not be able to travel there themselves. I am glad you found this video informative:)
This was excellent. I am visiting this whole area next year. Thank-you for taking the time out to make this documentary.
Young lady that was an outstanding video of history from WW2. I have learned so much from watching your video, keep up the good work.
well done 👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much for your words! I really appreciate it and am happy that with this video I can help to remember our past 🙏🏻
I am so thankful for you making these videos. You have shown and taught me things that I didn't know. I'm from South Africa and have great interest in the second world war due to my granfathers involvement as a soldier in Egypt and Italy fighting for the British. Please keep up the fantastic work and videos. Thank you again
Very informative and very respectful. 🇨🇦
Thank you so much for the feedback!
An excellent and very informative video. I don't know if the editing made the sound jump as it did but otherwise this was really good. Thank-you for sharing this.
Unfortunately the sound jumps were the result of some kind of glitch during the uploading process 🥲 I hope it wasn’t too disturbing. Thanks a lot for watching!
I’ve wanted to explore Krakow and wider Poland for a long time and I still plan to - this just reinforces what an interesting and thought-provoking experience it would be. Thank you.
It is a beautiful and very interesting city to visit. I can only recommend it 💯
Excellent historical accounting of events that must never be forgotten nor repeated. Thank you.
Thank you for this video.
I’m a documentary filmmaker myself with work on Netflix, and this was very well done.
Good luck to you.
Thank you so much for your feedback! It means a lot 🥹
Really this is an incredible video. Thank you. I watch a lot documentaries and this is really well done and so informative.
Thanks a lot for the feedback!
Very informative. Having visited the Krakow a few years ago, its very good to see that the Jewish quarter recovering with young Jewish people, and once more become the cultural center of Europe.Thank you for the vid. Please use the proper pronunciation of the city, and not the American mispronouncing of the Polish W. With respect from North West London
..."the Krakow"... without "the"... It is absolutely proper pronunciation of the city when she is speaking English, ie: "Krakau". I live here, and speak Polish, and English.
A wonderful piece. An excellent job. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Congratulations on this video Alina. You treated marvellously a very serious topic, and a very sad chapter of history. Many of the events you touch are the central theme of a cinema masterpiece, "Schindler's List" by celebrated director Steven Spielberg.
In particular the brutal Kommandant of the Kraków-Płaszów Concentration Camp Amon Göth was played by English actor Ralph Fiennes, in a legendary role.
Difficult area of #Poland, I guess, and indeed of the World.
Hug and regards from Oceania.
Thank you for the feedback!
Schindlers List is a great movie and perfect to understand much better the history of WWII in Krakow. So it’s definitely very recomendable 💯
Brilliant. Been to krakow twice but now I've seen your video will have to come again! Thank you
Thank you, sincerely, for your good work with this video.
Thank you for watching!
Thanks…great video. I went to Krakow in 1994. The factory was a working factory then. It is a beautiful city. I’d like to travel there again.
Thank you for the feedback. I didn’t know that the factory was working that long! Very interesting!
Thank you for your video. I am from the US, however, have plans to travel to Krakow. Appreciate the information, very helpful.
Thank you for the feedback! Krakow really is worth a visit, not only because of its history but also because it is a great city in general. I created another video about its beautiful historical city center. Maybe you can find some more inspiration for your trip there :)

New subscriber here. Excellent video. Breaks my heart to hear of all the cruelty toward the Jewish people.😢❤️🇺🇸. Thank you for doing this.
Thank you so much for your feedback and welcome to my channel. I’m planning to upload further videos about that topic in a few weeks.
Have long thought of myself as a self-appointed expert on the history of the Third Reich but have learned many details since watching your videos. Your passion come through and the murdered and survivors of the Holocaust would be sure to thank you. Keep up the great work!
Thanks a lot for your feedback! I’m glad I could teach even you some more details :)
My wife and I were in Warsaw 2 thru 7 July 24. We also visited the main camps and the Market Square in Krakow. We missed the areas in your video at the time but have now learned much from your passionate video. From Washington State, USA. We did visit Warsaw Uprising Museum and Old Town, also learning much. I've added a few books to my collection and to share with others to learn and remember, as you've taught. We stayed at Polonia Palace Hotel in Warsaw Central area.
I missed Warsaw this time but it’s definitely on my list! I’m glad though that you still learnt something from my video and that I was able to also show you places you haven’t seen yet.
@@aventuralina thanks for your note.
very informative and wonderfully presented, thank you Alina.
Thank you for watching!
Excellent presentation. I have subbed to get updated on new videos.
Thanks a lot for the feedback and welcome to my channel ☺️ Give me a few weeks and I will upload further videos about this topic. I’m currently working on them :)
Very good interesting video and very well presented. I have just got back from Krakow so watching this was very educational
I’m glad you found this educational :)
Thank you for watching!
That was excellent, informative and superbly presented. Thank you
Thank you for your feedback!
A very human presentation of a very inhumane period in Polish history. Well done, Alina!
Thank you for the feedback ☺️
This was very interesting and informative. Thank you for making it.
Thank you for this video. I got back from Krakow yesterday. I went to Auschwitz and Birkenau which was traumatic. The Jewish quarter was stunning. Unfortunately I never got time to visit Schindler’s factory or the ghetto. You’re video as confirmed the longing to return as soon as possible. Thank you again x
Thank you so much for your words. There’s a lot to discover and to learn in and around Krakow. I also want to return someday so visit more places.
Tremendo video Alina me gusto como en el vídeo vas presentando los hechos de manera objetiva y manteniendo el interés.. y justamente hoy 1ero de septiembre.. te felicito alina muchos éxitos de aqui en adelante. Me gustan tus videos
Gracias Rafael! Me alegro que también te guste este video aunque fue un poco más serio. Me parece un tema muy importante que necesitamos recordar. Y fue muy interesante para mí buscar informaciones de cómo fue esta época en Cracovia.
👍👏Perfect, Alina. All the best to you from Brazil.
Thanks a lot. I’m happy you enjoyed this video 😊
Hello, as a Jew who lived in Israel and most of the family murdered in LODZ ghetto and in Auschwitz. I would like to thank you for your amazing work.
GOD BLESS YOU, thanks for being there. :)
Thank you! I feel honoured by your words. And I am deeply sorry about your family. May they rest peacefully in a better place 🙏🏻
Thank you for this very thoughtful film. Jana
Thank you for watching.
Fantastic job on this video. Thank you for telling this story.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for your hard efforts to make such an interesting video.
Thank you for watching!
Well done. Told factually and precisely….a terrible history that can never be forgotten.
Thank you🙏
Thank you for your feedback!
Appreciate the fact that there was no waffle, and you went straight in there - with facts, and were engaging while you were doing so
Thank you for your feedback!
Very well put together video, I visited Krakow two years ago it was interesting to see the places again. Subscibed !
Thank you for your feedback and welcome to my channel :)
This is an excellent video. Thank you for making it. It's historically accurate, and tells the story of the plight of the Jewish population with great empathy and understanding. I visited Krakow a few years ago. An amazing city with such a vivid history. I also visited the site of Kraków-Płaszów Concentration Camp which was a harrowing experience. The site has little physical remnants of its past, except perhaps for the "villa", but the museum and the memorials tell the story in great detail and are very moving and thought-provoking. I also visited Auschwitz-Birkenau which was equally harrowing. Thank you for telling the history of Krakow and Kraków-Płaszów. I hope many people see this video.
Thank you so much for taking the time to sent me this very kind feedback and tell us about your personal experiences. I agree that Krakow is a beautiful city and worth a visit because of that and because of its history.
On Sunday I will publish the video about my visit to Auschwitz. I felt like it is also important to remember the deadliest concentration camp. I hope you’ll find this video just as interesting.
I loved your vlog thank you. I am going to Krakow in the next few days and will visit these places. Thanks again
Thank you for watching! Have a wonderful time in Krakow. It’s a great city!
thank you so much for this excellent piece. i visited Krakow earlier this year but unfortunately didn’t get to see these places.
Thank you for watching. I’m glad I could show you a different sight of Krakow rather than just the typical places.
I must congratulate you not only on the excellence of this moving video.....but also on your command of the English language. Thank you Alina. Greetings from Australia.
