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
Your video is beyond excellent. I was there this past summer and spend 2 days crying. I lost a whole extended family there and in Hungary, it is even more painful that history is trying to repeat itself, maybe not with ghettos but the same maessages and the world is basically silent. Then there are the holocaust deniers even with documentary available and films like yours.
Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts and I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your family 😔 It is true that history seems to repeat itself. But it’s the people who allow this to happen. Because of that I felt like it is super important to create these kind of videos to remember our past and to remind people where hate has lead us before…
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.
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.
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.
Very well done and very informative. I knew a survivor of the Krakow Ghetto and went to school with his daughter. If not for Mr Spielberg abd his film Schindlers List I would know nothing of this location in history. Thank you young lady.
Thank you for watching! Schindlers List is a great and very educational movie and it was also the inspiration for this video as I also wouldn’t have known much about this ghetto in Krakow without watching the video and doing my research afterwards.
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,
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.
She is excellent I was there this past summer. The problem is history is trying to repeat itself and holocaust deniers are in full swing, antisemitism is rampant and most of the world either believes or is silent. Thank you Alina for saying it like it really was and not revising 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 very much for this tribute to the victims of Nazi persecution of European Jews. It is critical that this history be told from generation to generation. Never again.
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. :)
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.
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.
Alina, your delivery was excellent and left me hanging onto each word. Bless you for a remarkable video, content well explained and set at a good pace. I owe you.
This host and tour guide is excellent. I have listened to many lectures on WW11 history and watched hundreds of interviews documenting the Jews holocaust experience. None did a finer job than this young lady.
Hi Alina, well done! I consider myself quite lucky because my maternal grandparents lived in Lublin district and they immigrated here to the US in 1910. Unfortunately many of my grandmothers extended family stayed and were never heard from again after Sept 1st 1939. Keep up the good work and keep history preserved for young people.
Thank you for your feedback and thanks a lot for sharing a bit of your own story! I’m sorry about your grandmothers extended family but glad that at least a small part of your family managed to escape.
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.
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.
Excellent presentation. I visited both Krackow and Warsaw several years ago and was horrified by the number of monuments marking Nazi atrocities not only in the death camps but also on every street. I am now 86 years of age and still cannot understand the lack of compassion within some part of humankind. 😢
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…
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.
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 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 am traveling toKrakow in April and I am studying about the city. I so much enjoyed your video and explanation of the areas I've read about. It is very well done.
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 🙏
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 💯
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 :)
Hi Alina, I’m very grateful to this movie in which you shared with us the special part of history, where we saw both deadly cruelty and shining humanity. I will try to learn more about that. Krakow has always been high among my destination list and I would definitely pay a visit there, hopefully in near future.
Hi Alina, I just watched this as I'm visiting Krakow this year. Your presentation style is so good, you're clearly gifted with journalistic talent which is important when anyone can simply post a video online. You've tackled such an important topic with sensitivity and energy. Thank you.
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 🌸🌸
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!
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 💯
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 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.
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.
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.
Great work! Congratulations! I've been planning a trip to Poland, especially to visit places that are related to the Shoah, in this case: Auschwitz, Warsaw and Krakow. Your video has help me lot! I am saying again: it was a great historical work! Congratulations! Best regards from Brazil!
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.
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.
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.
The Jewish quarter is kind of a lovely design, actually, with the open patio for socializing. Many of us would benefit from same in these isolated times.
Hi Alina, I hope you get good feedback on this. I like history and we're not always taught the truth in school. I looked up a bit more on Oskar Schindler because I wanted to know more about the moving of the factories just prior to the war ending. I found this interesting conclusion to his life: He died on 9 October 1974 in Hildesheim, Germany, and was buried in Jerusalem on Mount Zion, possibly the only former member of the Nazi Party to be honoured in this way. He and his wife Emilie were named Righteous Among the Nations by the Israeli government in 1993.
Thanks a lot for your feedback! I’m happy this video was interesting for you and also thank you for sharing your research. It’s very interesting that someone from the SS party has been honoured by Israel and is buried there, isn’t it? I think it’s a great gesture and it shows, that often there is more than just the first impression behind a person. For a lot of people Schindler was just another member of the SS but for those who really knew him, he was much better than what it seemed at the first glance!
@@aventuralinaHi there and I think you did a great job on the video project visiting Krakow Jewish ghetto and the Jewish Quarters of the city. I do need to correct you on a minor detail about Oskar Schindler's Nazi Party affiliation as he was just ONLY a basic prominent member of the evil & criminal political party BUT he wasn't a member of the SS (Schutzstafel "Protection Squad") as he didn't hold a single rank of the criminal political organization as such as "SS-Oberführer, SS-Obersturmbannführer or SS-Brigadeführer, ETC he was just a basic Nazi Party member ✅
awesome video ive been to krakow it's a beautiful city we loved it I would love to go again but I'm 87 now we went to a lot of the places what you have shown awesome then we went auschwitz that just blown our minds ❤
Thank you for an enlightening tour, the whole saga is something that should never be forgotten and must never be repeated and such important history really needs to be passed on to future generations to ensure people never have to endure such suffering again. Thank you for your time in making this short documentary it’s important.
Yes, I agree. I am glad that with my channel I can help at least a bit to pass on this part of our history and to help that it will never be forgotten. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the knowledge given Aliena. MY HIGHEST RESPECT TO YOU. A Concise History of Poland 🇵🇱 by Jerzy Lukowski and Hubert Zawadzki gave me a knowledge about Poland 🇵🇱. This help me to pass my masters degree in History. Good evening from Colombo Sri Lanka.

Very interesting. Thank you. I didn’t realise that there was another concentration camp in Krakow. I was aware of Schindler’s humanity through Thomas Keneally’s book “ Schindler’s Ark” and Steven Spielberg’s film “Schindler’s List” - both excellent.
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 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.
It’s less than 2% which is normal 😅 There’s always haters on the internet but in this specific case I believe it’s mostly people how either deny the holocaust or believe Jews deserved this for their past or due to what is going on in Palestine… I appreciate your comment though and am happy you enjoyed the video ☺️

Hi Alina, well done! I consider myself quite lucky because my maternal grandparents lived in Lublin district and they immigrated here to the US in 1910. Unfortunately many of my grandmothers extended family stayed and were never heard from again after Sept 1st 1939. Keep up the good work and keep history preserved for young people.
Thank you for your feedback and thanks a lot for sharing a bit of your own story! I’m sorry about your grandmothers extended family but glad that at least a small part of your family managed to escape.
Thank you for telling this on RUclips, hopefully younger generations will learn from you!
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 🙏🏻
So very kindly said to this gentleman. Thank you for your lecture and tour today. So important to us.@@aventuralina
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.
@@antonioacevedo5200and Palestine? Holocaust of today? So as a friend of IR you should know better.
@@antonioacevedo5200exactly. The Jewish people have the love and respect of this Irishman 🇮🇱🇮🇪
Well done presentation
Thank you
Thank you for your feedback!
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.
Thank you so much for your appreciation and your very kind words. I wish you and your family all the best!
Excellent presentation. I visited both Krackow and Warsaw several years ago and was horrified by the number of monuments marking Nazi atrocities not only in the death camps but also on every street. I am now 86 years of age and still cannot understand the lack of compassion within some part of humankind. 😢
I haven’t been to Warsaw yet but it’s on my list for this year. I believe it will be a very interesting yet horrifying visit.
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.
True, but unfortunately this ideal world doesn’t exist until today… :/
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…
Are u ashamed of the British army?they killed millions of people too
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.
Schindlers List is a really great and educational video! Thanks a lot for your feedback :)
@@aventuralinaI was emotionally drained and traumatised, after watching Schindler’s List😢
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.
@@aventuralina for sure... Our visits to Krakow are definitely not over.... A short flight from the UK.. Easily reached 👌
I visited Krakow but just when the tour stopped on the way to visit Auschwitz but is a beautiful city.
@@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 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 am traveling toKrakow in April and I am studying about the city. I so much enjoyed your video and explanation of the areas I've read about. It is very well done.
Thanks a lot for your feedback! I’m sure you’ll love Krakow :)
Thank you so much for making this video. Keeping alive the history of what happened here is so important for future generations to learn from.
Yes, I totally agree! We cannot allow that this part of our history ever gets forgotten 🙏🏻
You did an excellent job on this video! Thank you for the time and effort you have taken to educate us. (From USA)
Thank you for watching and for your feedback!
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 🙏
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 💯
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.
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.
Hi Alina, Thank you for your excellent video. Full of history, fact and photographs. Your style of presentation is professional and very well done.
Thank you so much for your very kind feedback :)
Thank you, Alina for presenting this very informative video.
Thank you for watching!
This is a fantastic video. So well narrated and put together.
Thanks a lot for your feedback :)
Very well done, concise and straight to the point. As a history freak, specially contemporary one, I truly enjoyed it
Thank you so much for this very kind feedback 🤗
Dear Alina, Thank you for making this video.
Thank you for watching!
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 your feedback!
I knew parts of this story, particularly the Schindler's story ... Very well done, keep at it!
Thanks a lot for your feedback :)
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.
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.
Thank you for sharing this personal information. Going to the US probably saved them 🙏🏻
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 :)
Great video, thankyou.
Thank you for watching!
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!
Hi Alina, I’m very grateful to this movie in which you shared with us the special part of history, where we saw both deadly cruelty and shining humanity. I will try to learn more about that.
Krakow has always been high among my destination list and I would definitely pay a visit there, hopefully in near future.
Thank you for your feedback! I can only recommend to visit Krakow personally. It’s such a beautiful city, there’s so much to discover and to learn :)
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!
Hi Alina, I just watched this as I'm visiting Krakow this year. Your presentation style is so good, you're clearly gifted with journalistic talent which is important when anyone can simply post a video online. You've tackled such an important topic with sensitivity and energy. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your very kind feedback! I really appreciate it 🥰
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 🌸🌸
Thanks a lot for the feedback. Yes, it’s absolutely important to keep this part of our history alive 🙏🏻
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 ☺️
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 💯
Very informative. Thanks for the great video
Thank you for your words :)
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 🥹
Wonderful done! It makes me want to go to Krakow and visit all these places of history that should never be forgotten.
Thanks for the feedback. Krakow is a wonderful city and there’s a lot to discover :)
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.
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 ☕️🤗
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 :)
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!
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 ☺️
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.
This was excellent. I am visiting this whole area next year. Thank-you for taking the time out to make this documentary.
Hi alina we were all around there in krakow in febuary it was very interesting great programme alina Paul from england UK 🇬🇧❤
Thanks a lot Paul for your feedback!
@@aventuralina love Poland awesome country ❤️
Great work! Congratulations! I've been planning a trip to Poland, especially to visit places that are related to the Shoah, in this case: Auschwitz, Warsaw and Krakow. Your video has help me lot! I am saying again: it was a great historical work! Congratulations!
Best regards from Brazil!
Thanks a lot for your words! I hope you’ll do this trip. It’ll be a very educational one
Very informative and very respectful. 🇨🇦
Thank you so much for the feedback!
Good video! Have to go back again and visit Krakow again.
Thanks a lot for the feedback! Krakow is always worth a visit :)
A wonderful piece. An excellent job. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
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 :)
A wonderful episode-thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for creating and sharing this video of great historical value. We need to keep history alive.
I agree. Thank you for watching.
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.
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.
The Jewish quarter is kind of a lovely design, actually, with the open patio for socializing. Many of us would benefit from same in these isolated times.
Fantastic informative presentation.
Thank you!
👍👏Perfect, Alina. All the best to you from Brazil.
Thanks a lot. I’m happy you enjoyed this video 😊
I visited Krakow in 2013, it was THE most beautiful, peaceful city I have ever visited. I highly recommend visiting Krakow.
I agree! It’s such a beautiful city and has so much to offer 💯
I watch a lot of RUclips 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 😊
Hi Alina, I hope you get good feedback on this. I like history and we're not always taught the truth in school. I looked up a bit more on Oskar Schindler because I wanted to know more about the moving of the factories just prior to the war ending. I found this interesting conclusion to his life:
He died on 9 October 1974 in Hildesheim, Germany, and was buried in Jerusalem on Mount Zion, possibly the only former member of the Nazi Party to be honoured in this way. He and his wife Emilie were named Righteous Among the Nations by the Israeli government in 1993.
Thanks a lot for your feedback! I’m happy this video was interesting for you and also thank you for sharing your research. It’s very interesting that someone from the SS party has been honoured by Israel and is buried there, isn’t it? I think it’s a great gesture and it shows, that often there is more than just the first impression behind a person. For a lot of people Schindler was just another member of the SS but for those who really knew him, he was much better than what it seemed at the first glance!
@@aventuralinaHi there and I think you did a great job on the video project visiting Krakow Jewish ghetto and the Jewish Quarters of the city. I do need to correct you on a minor detail about Oskar Schindler's Nazi Party affiliation as he was just ONLY a basic prominent member of the evil & criminal political party BUT he wasn't a member of the SS (Schutzstafel "Protection Squad") as he didn't hold a single rank of the criminal political organization as such as "SS-Oberführer, SS-Obersturmbannführer or SS-Brigadeführer, ETC he was just a basic Nazi Party member ✅
awesome video ive been to krakow it's a beautiful city we loved it I would love to go again but I'm 87 now we went to a lot of the places what you have shown awesome then we went auschwitz that just blown our minds ❤
Thank you for an enlightening tour, the whole saga is something that should never be forgotten and must never be repeated and such important history really needs to be passed on to future generations to ensure people never have to endure such suffering again. Thank you for your time in making this short documentary it’s important.
Yes, I agree. I am glad that with my channel I can help at least a bit to pass on this part of our history and to help that it will never be forgotten. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the knowledge given Aliena. MY HIGHEST RESPECT TO YOU. A Concise History of Poland 🇵🇱 by Jerzy Lukowski and Hubert Zawadzki gave me a knowledge about Poland 🇵🇱. This help me to pass my masters degree in History. Good evening from Colombo Sri Lanka. Roshant Weerasinghe Son of Herbert Weerasinghe Former Inspector General of Sri Lanka police and Delini Weerasinghe Former commissioner of Examinations Department of Examinations Sri Lanka.
Thanks a lot for your feedback! I’m glad to hear that you found this video helpful :)
Excellent video. Been to all them places other than the camp which i will need to find next time.
Thank you for watching. I think a lot of people oversee the camp but it’s worth it to go there.
Very interesting. Thank you. I didn’t realise that there was another concentration camp in Krakow. I was aware of Schindler’s humanity through Thomas Keneally’s book “ Schindler’s Ark” and Steven Spielberg’s film “Schindler’s List” - both excellent.
I only know the movie Schindlers list and agree. It’s very recommendable 👍🏼
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 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.
Very informative and interesting. Thank you.
Thanks for your feedback and for watching :)
Thank you for this video.
Thank you for watching.
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!
Why does this video have so many dislikes for simply stating the facts? Great job Alina!
It’s less than 2% which is normal 😅 There’s always haters on the internet but in this specific case I believe it’s mostly people how either deny the holocaust or believe Jews deserved this for their past or due to what is going on in Palestine…
I appreciate your comment though and am happy you enjoyed the video ☺️
Brilliant. Been to krakow twice but now I've seen your video will have to come again! Thank you
