Poland Cracow Walk [4K] magnificent old town / #CracowWalk4K
Poland was a battleground between east and west. Crushed, bombed and robbed by unscrupulous and power-thirsty rulers, its lands are soaked in blood and its cities have been meticulously rebuilt on the bodies of those who died for them.
With a legacy steeped in murder, death and terror beyond belief, it comes as no surprise that this should be reflected in legends, both urban and traditional. Several of these are associated with historical sites which can be visited, although not by the faint of heart.
A strange and tragic story is associated with Krakow's city hall. Legend has it that two hundred years ago a priest was called to perform last rites for a dying person. He was taken to his clients by carriage. Once he arrived, the priest was taken to a chamber in which he found a body covered by a cloak. Two people entered the room: an old man and a young girl dressed in white. The priest was told to perform the rite on the girl. After the act was completed the mysterious body emerged from under the cloak. Dressed entirely in red, he turned out to be an executioner and beheaded the girl. Later on the priest found out that she was a young countess punished by her father for a romantic affair with a butler. Apparently the father buried her in the basement of the building. Since then the White Lady has glided along the halls of the mansion.

11 PostCard Katyn Massacre
Katyn Massacre
Video Postcard Series from the 21 Convention Warsaw Poland 2019
National Museum dedicated to the series of mass executions of Polish military & police officers and intelligentsia carried out by the Soviets following the invasion of Poland in 1939.
The killings were approved of by the Politburo of the Communist Party and Stalin himself.
The intent was to deprive a potential future Poland a large portion of its military, police and intelligentsia talent. As such they were considered “avowed enemies of Soviet authority”.
This amounted to almost half of the Polish officer corps.
It is estimated that some 22,000 people were murdered.
The Nazis discovered several of the mass graves in 1943 and reported it to the International Red Cross. When the IRC asked for an investigation, Stalin immediately denied it and severed diplomatic ties with the Red Cross.
Successive Soviet governments would go on to perpetrate sustained denial until a Soviet investigation in 1990 and confirmation in 2004 by the Russian Federation.
Those killings in NKVD prisons were methodical. Individuals personal information was checked and approved, they were led into a cell and shot in the back of the head.
The killings went on from dusk to dawn. The process continued every night, except for the public May Day holiday until they finished, which took weeks.
The weapon of choice was a small caliber .25 ACP due to its low recoil to aid the executioner in prolonged utilization.
Katyn was a forbidden topic in postwar Poland and censorship of it was specifically mentioned in the “Black Book of Censorship”. Not only did the government suppress all references to it, but mentioning the atrocity was a dangerous act to commit facing beatings, detentions and ostracism.
In the late 1950’s Soviets took active steps to destroy documents related to Katyn massacre, but a memo from the head of the KGB to Nikita Khrushchev outlining this survived and was later made public.
The park and entry to the Museum lies in the center of the Warsaw Citadel and recreates a symbolic Katyn Forest and mass graves at the heart of it.
A part of the Citadel is an active duty military post and a Polish Officer training barracks that directly overlooks this symbolic park and the entry to the Museum. There is no margin of error in this spatial and visual relationship.
Inside the museum due to it being in former fortification, feels subterranean and vault like and showcases some 5,500 individual artifacts. Each taken off corpses removed from the mass graves. Each cubical a personal belonging tied to a singular individual.
The intimacy of the personal effect coupled with the sheer scale of them is simply overwhelming and deeply disturbing.
Poland isn’t forgetting.
Her Officer Corps is being forged in front of it.

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Commandant Amon Goeth (Ralph Fiennes) chooses Helen Hirsch (Embeth Davidtz) to be the housekeeper of his villa in the labor camp, then orders the execution of the Jewish engineer in charge of construction of the barracks.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Based on a true story, Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List stars Liam Neeson as Oskar Schindler, a German businessman in Poland who sees an opportunity to make money from the Nazis' rise to power. He starts a company to make cookware and utensils, using flattery and bribes to win military contracts, and brings in accountant and financier Itzhak Stern (Ben Kingsley) to help run the factory. By staffing his plant with Jews who've been herded into Krakow's ghetto by Nazi troops, Schindler has a dependable unpaid labor force. For Stern, a job in a war-related plant could mean survival for himself and the other Jews working for Schindler. However, in 1942, all of Krakow's Jews are assigned to the Plaszow Forced Labor Camp, overseen by Commandant Amon Goeth (Ralph Fiennes), an embittered alcoholic who occasionally shoots prisoners from his balcony. Schindler arranges to continue using Polish Jews in his plant, but, as he sees what is happening to his employees, he begins to develop a conscience. He realizes that his factory (now refitted to manufacture ammunition) is the only thing preventing his staff from being shipped to the death camps. Soon Schindler demands more workers and starts bribing Nazi leaders to keep Jews on his employee lists and out of the camps. By the time Germany falls to the allies, Schindler has lost his entire fortune -- and saved 1,100 people from likely death. Schindler's List was nominated for 12 Academy Awards and won seven, including Best Picture and a long-coveted Best Director for Spielberg, and it quickly gained praise as one of the finest American movies about the Holocaust.

Między kroplami deszczu fragment 2
„Między kroplami deszczu” (2010)
scen. i reż. Kuba Karyś, Paulina Loszek
Film prezentowany na pokazach i festiwalach filmowych na całym świecie opowiada historie krakowskich Żydów ocalałych z piekła Holocaustu. Stella, Janka, Tosia, Aleksander, Janek będąc dziećmi przeżyli getto, obóz w Płaszowie, Auschwitz i inne obozy koncentracyjne. Wielokrotnie cudem uniknęli śmierci. Czy to był cud, przypadek, wola Boga, a może tylko i aż szczęście. Takie pytania zadawali sobie wtedy i zadają je również dzisiaj. W filmie występuje jeszcze jedno „dziecko” - Niklas Frank – syn hitlerowskiego gubernatora, który w okupowanym Krakowie przeżył szczęśliwe dzieciństwo. Dziś oni wszyscy wyruszają w ostatnią podróż w poszukiwaniu śladów i czasu, którego już nie ma. Podróż być może dla nich najważniejszą.
„Ocalałam. A przecież ocalało tak niewielu. Ocalałam w getcie, w Płaszowie, w Oświęcimiu. A przecież ocalało tak niewielu. Po tysiąckroć ocalałam. I nie chcę już o tym pamiętać. Choć muszę. I nie chcę już tego wspominać. Choć powinnam. Ale mam prawo nie chcieć. Co z tego, że dzieci mówią teraz o getcie „to było miasteczko”, co z tego, że w Płaszowie wyprowadza się psy na spacer, a zimą jeździ na sankach, co z tego, że roześmiane szkolne wycieczki przemierzają Auschwitz i Birkenau, żeby nie mieć lekcji i wypalić papierosa. Gdzieś z tyłu, za krematorium. Co z tego, że ja tam byłam. Że widziałam trupy na ulicach „miasteczka getta”, że sanki suną po cmentarzysku tysięcy ludzkich istnień. Co z tego, że trzy razy odstawiano mnie do krematorium - tam, gdzie teraz niedopałki uczniowskich papierosów. No i co z tego. Ja chcę zapomnieć i mam do tego prawo. Nie wszyscy je mają. Nie zapominajcie o nas.”
Niusia Horowitz
więzień obozów w Płaszowie i Oświęcimiu
Z programu 23 Festiwalu Filmu Polskiego, Chicago, listopad 2011
Żydzi po getcie jechali do obozu koncentracyjnego i tam byli raczej zabijani, mówi młoda kobieta. Zabijano ich dlatego, bo... kontynuuje druga i milknie zanim kończy swoją odpowiedź: w sumie to nie wiem…. Ten film jest lekcją dla tych, którzy nie wiedzą, oraz dla tych, którzy myślą, że wiedzą, ale prawdopodobnie nigdy nie zrozumieją. To wstrząsająca opowieść Żydów Krakowskich o nich samych: ich zagładzie, walce o życie i nieludzkim traktowaniu jakiego doświadczyli z rąk niemieckich nazistów. A lekcja? Że w życiu najważniejszą wartością jest życie samo w sobie.
Bartosz Węglarczyk: „Magiczny film, zasługuje na każdą nagrodę”
Teresa Torańska: „Zobacz, przeżyj – nie zapomnisz.”
Z recenzji Pani Marii Malatyńskiej, styczeń 2010:
„…Powstał film przepyszny: nie stroniący od żywych dramatów, pełen rozmachu inscenizacyjnego, ilustrowany starannie dobranym materiałem dokumentalnym, ale nade wszystko ciepło i serdecznie pokazujący swoich bohaterów. A tych bohaterów jest aż pięcioro: trzy kobiety i dwóch mężczyzn. Wszyscy, dziś starsi państwo, pochodzą z Krakowa, tu spędzili dzieciństwo, z tęsknotą mówią o ulicach, domach, kolegach, o kraju swojego dzieciństwa. A potem na ich drodze stanął czas wojny. Przeżyli Holocaust, obóz w Płaszowie, Auschwitz, inne obozy, ktoś z nich otarł się o Schindlera… Potem czas powojenny rzucił ich do Izraela, Stanów, lub gdzie indziej. Jest jeszcze bohater szósty: niespodziewany – syn Hansa Franka, Niklas Frank, „książątko”, które wychowywało się na Wawelu, a po wojnie opluło ojca, napisało przeciwko niemu książkę, „zerwało” z pamięcią rodzinną.
Młodzi realizatorzy sprowadzili ich wszystkich do Krakowa, a Frankowi specjalnie każą chodzić tropem bohaterów; oglądamy jego ekspiację, nie narzuca się, ale jest.(…)
Młodzi twórcy nie bali się materiału. Czując siłę bohaterów, pokazywali ich jak najczęściej. Odkrywając stare taśmy – przypominali je wielokrotnie świadomie potęgując ich działanie inscenizacją. Bo tam, gdzie archiwum historyczne nie schodzi do prywatnych wspomnień, inscenizują. Wraz z bohaterami są w samym środku zdarzeń. Wierzą ich wspomnieniom, szanują każdą emocję, wyraźnie chcą z pozycji swojego pokolenia, a więc wnuków, a może już prawnuków, tamtemu pokoleniu coś wynagrodzić: ciepłem, zainteresowaniem, sympatią.(…)
Rezultat artystyczny jest taki, że film ma konstrukcyjne nadbogactwo. Nie kończy się, chce powiedzieć jeszcze więcej, żal mu każdej wypowiedzi, więc ją uwzględnia. Ale pewnie dzięki temu jest przepyszny, toczy się z rozmachem i, oglądając go, chce się, aby się nigdy nie skończył…”
Their Brothers' Keepers: American Liberators of the Nazi Death Camp
October 13, 2013
The most moving moment of my life was the day the Americans arrived. It was the morning of April 11 [1945]. I will always remember with love a big black soldier. He was crying like a child-tears of all the pain in the world and all the rage. Everyone who was there that day will forever feel a sentiment of gratitude to the American soldiers who liberated us. (Facing Hate, Public Affairs Television, 11/27/1991).
These were the words of Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor, author, and Nobel Peace Prize winner. Forty-six years following his liberation from the Buchenwald concentration camp, Wiesel expressed in stark words a moment in his life that forever marked his future existence. He, together with thousands of other Jews and people of other nationalities enslaved and tortured by the Nazi war machine, vehemently greeted the American army that liberated them. All were grateful for the invaluable gift that was granted to them and that only a few weeks earlier before the liberation seemed a wishful dream: a new lease on life.
Buchenwald, Nordhausen, Bergen-Belsen, Dachau---are the names of only some of the camps the American army liberated. Many of them were surrounded by sub-camps, such as Ohrdruf Nord. A Buchenwald subcamp, Ohrdruf was the first camp that was encountered by American forces. The bulk of the army made up by 19-25 year-old men, had already experienced the ravages of war and the grief engendered by the sight of lost comrades in battle. But these young soldiers had neither heard of the concentration camps nor of the horrors that were committed inside their gates. Their memories would be forever marked by the atrocities they witnessed. When General Dwight D. Eisenhower, supreme commander of the Allied forces in Europe arrived in Ohrdruf a few days following its liberation and saw for himself what his army had seen only a few days earlier, he issued an order: I want every American unit not actually in the front lines to see this place...Now, at least, he will know what he is fighting against.

Mosaic SKY tile areas done, UTW 64: Sandro Delmastro art, Jul 8, 2016 © A.K. Segan
Advisory note added Janary 30, 2017: I typed closed captions for this video today but the Youtube software (as usual) for submitting manually typed accurate cc's is not working. It is showing tteir default, pre-set condescending, demeaning and useless computer generated cc'ing.
~
Today is July 8, 2016.
To be completed: The mosaic areas on the right, lower right and bottom center. Then the grouting will begin.
~
The drawing that will be reinserted in the center of the artwork after the mosaic areas are completed was begun April 17, 2016.
Artist Akiva Kenny Segan portrayed Sandro Delmastro, a young (presumably Catholic background) Italian who was a chemistry studies classmate and a hiking buddy of Primo Levi. Delmastro hailed from Serra d’Ivrea; I believe this is the region around the town of Ivrea in northwest Italy’s Piedmontese area; Ivrea is part of the city of Turin.
~
The mosaic tile-making, beginning with the sky at upper left and right, and left and lower left, began the weekend of June 18, 2016. The sky area is now nearing completion (pre-grouting), week of July 4, 2016.
~
The photo of Delmastro that Segan saw on the internet shows him seated on a rock ledge pinnacle high up and overlooking a valley. The photo may have been taken by Primo Levi on one of their hikes in mountains outside of Turin.
~
Sometime between 1943 and 1945, during the years of the Nazi occupation of northern Italy and Mussolini’s last years in power, if truncated at that time, with the Republic of Saló, aka the Italian Social Republic (Italian: Repubblica Sociale Italiana), Delmastro, while attempting to escape from the Fascist Party house in the city of Cuneo* was shot in the back of the neck by ...a monstrous child-executioner, one of those wretched murderers of fifteen whom Mussolini's Republic of Saló recruited in the reformatories. (quote in the chapter 'Iron,' in The Periodic Table / by Primo Levi © Schocken Books, NY,1984; Il Sistema Periodico © Giuilio Einaudi editore SpA, Torino, 1975).
~
*Cuneo is a city in northwest Italy in the Piedmont region.
~
Primo Levi, born in Turin in 1919, was an Italian Jewish chemist, anti-Fascist activist, an Auschwitz death-camp slave labor survivor, and after WWII, a world acclaimed author. He wrote of surviving Auschwitz and other Holocaust themed books. His other writing included poetry and even sci-fi.
~
While Sandro Delmastro was not a victim of the Nazis (and the Holocaust) he was a victim of murderous Fascism in Italy. As a pal of Primo Levi, I chose Delmastro as a subject for the tolerance education goals of the Under the Wings (and the companion Sight-seeing with Dignity human rights) art series.
~
The mosaic-drawing combo art portrait will be the third in the wings series portraying a victim of Fascists during WWII. The other 2 victims were Jewish, but they were not victims of the Nazi perpetrated Holocaust:
~
Under the Wings UTW 48: Italian-Jewish resistance hero Eugenio Curiel, Castel sant' angelo & my flying Chi, Obi Jew-Jew Kenobi. He was beaten to death by men, thugs, from the paramilitary Brigate Nere (English: Black Brigades), run by the Republican Fascist Party. They operated under the Nazi military puppet government that installed Mussolini’s government in northern Italy called the Italian Social Republic, or The Republic of Saló.
These were the same Fascist murderers who had arrested Delmastro, in the same region, northwest Italy.
~
Under the Wings 59: Mira Steiner of Zagreb. A young Croatian Jewish woman born in 1922, she was murdered by Ustashi Fascists on the island of Pag, Croatia.
~
When Delmastro was 20 (I think and Levi were close in age) they went on a very ambitious and difficult mountain hike; among others. (Levi was born in 1919).
~
The recounting of a particularly grueling hiking trip in the mountains was beautifully recounted by Levi in the chapter Iron in his book The Periodic Table (In Italian: Il sistema periodico). The first American edition, Schocken Books, 1984. The Italian language ed. that preceded it was published in 1975 by Giulio Einaudi editore, s.p.a., Torino (Turin). The translation of the copy of the book I have in hand is by Raymond Rosenthal (1915-1995).

Segan has depicted several Italian Jewish victims of the Nazi occupation in Italy, including Rita Rosani, a young teacher from Trieste and the only Italian woman to die in combat in Italy during WWII; Leone Ginzberg (see the artwork titled Hagadah Ginzberg); Eugenio Curiel; and an Italian Jewish girl from Rome, Fiorella Anticoli, who played an accordion.

Artist Akiva Kenny Segan, M.F.A., is best known as the creator of the Under the Wings Holocaust art series, the Sight-seeing with Dignity human rights art series, Judaic art and other Holocaust-themed fine art.

Majdanek concentration camp - part 1 of 5
Majdanek concentration camp part 1 of 5
Majdanek was a German Nazi concentration camp on the outskirts of Lublin, Poland, established during the German Nazi occupation of Poland. The camp operated from October 1, 1941 until July 22, 1944, when it was captured nearly intact by the advancing Soviet Red Army. Although conceived as a forced labor camp and not as an extermination camp, over 79,000 people[1] died there (59,000 of them Polish Jews) during the 34 months of its operation.
The name 'Majdanek' (little Majdan) derives from the nearby Majdan Tatarski (Tatar Maidan) district of Lublin, and was given to the camp in 1941 by the locals, who were aware of its existence. In Nazi documents, and for reasons related to its funding, Majdanek was initially Prisoner of War Camp of the Waffen-SS in Lublin. It was renamed Konzentrationslager Lublin (Concentration Camp Lublin) in February 1943.
Among German Nazi concentration camps, Majdanek was unusual in that it was located near a major city, not hidden away at a remote rural location. It is also notable as the best-preserved concentration camp of the Holocaust - there had been too little time for the Nazis to destroy the evidence before the Red Army arrived.

10. Pointy Shoes Were All The Rage
Today, if you decided to wear long, pointed shoes, you might look a little eccentric to say the least, but in medieval times – pointy shoes were all the rage! Forget Adidas, if you wanted to look cool in the 14th and 15th century, you would wear crakows, named after the former Polish capital of Krakow. These shoes might have been fashionable, but they were NOT practical.
9. Urine as an Antiseptic
This medical practice- if you could call it that- wasn’t used all the time, but there is a lot of evidence that using urine as a form of antiseptic was common in medieval times. And it wasn’t done only among the commoners or simple folk – it was actually a part of royal medical practice. Doctors could tell what was wrong with people just by looking at their urine, and during the Middle Ages it became a solid tool for doctors, providing them with all kinds of information!

3 DÍAS EN CRACOVIA, POLONIA???????? - ¿Qué hacer? ¿Dónde ir?
Este video resumen mi experiencia visitando Cracovia, en realidad fueron dos días allí ya que el segundo visitamos Auschwtiz (vale definitivamente la pena) cuyo video está en mi canal.
Cracovia resultó ser un lugar demasiado barato y lindo, muy tranquilo. La historia se siente en cada rincón de la ciudad y eso lo vuelve mucho más interesante.

SUMMARY
=======
Over six million Polish citizens, divided almost equally between ethnic Poles and Polish Jews, are estimated to have perished during World War II. Most were civilians killed by the actions of Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and their respective allies. At the International Military Tribunal held in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1945–46, three categories of wartime criminality were juridically established: waging a war of aggression; war crimes; and crimes against humanity. These three crimes in international law were for the first time, from the end of the war, categorised as violations of fundamental human values and norms. These crimes were committed in occupied Poland on a tremendous scale.In 1939 the invading forces comprised 1.5 million Germans and nearly half a million Soviets. Poland's territory was divided between Nazi Germany and the USSR. In the summer and autumn of 1941 the lands annexed in the east by the Soviets, containing large Ukrainian and Belarusian populations, were overrun by Nazi Germany in the initially successful Operation Barbarossa against the Soviet Union. Wartime German and Soviet actions eclipsed the sovereign Polish state, inflicted massive damage to the country's cultural heritage, and killed millions of Polish citizens. War crimes against Poland included deportations aimed at ethnic cleansing, imposition of forced labor, pacifications, and selective as well as mass murders.

⛔ ASÍ ERA MORIR EN AUSCHWITZ: LOS CAMPOS DE CONCENTRACIÓN DEL HOLOCAUSTO, POLONIA ???? ????
SUSCRÍBETE▶ Así se ven los campos de concentración de Auschwitz en 2018. Acompañame a esta visita a Oswiecim, Polonia donde hice este documental que registra el estado actual de los campos de Auschwitz Birkenau, Auschwitz Monowitz, y Auschwitz I.
A solo 43 Km de Cracovia, este fue el mayor centro de exterminio masivo. En el fueron víctimas judíos, gitanos, rusos y disidentes del régimen.
Sus principales dirigentes fueron Heinrich Himmler, Rudolf Höss quienes fueran posteriormente capturados y procesados en los juicios de Nuremberg.
Hoy en día es un patrimonio de la humanidad desde 1979 por ser uno de los lugares de mayor simbolismo del Holocausto.
Actualmente reconocido como el Museo estatal Auschwitz-Birkenau un centro memorial de información sobre lo acontecido en este lugar tras la decretada solución final del régimen nazi.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Schutzstaffel (SS; also stylized as with Armanen runes; German pronunciation: [ˈʃʊtsˌʃtafl̩] (listen); literally Protection Squadron) was a major paramilitary organization under Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party (NSDAP) in Nazi Germany, and later throughout German-occupied Europe during World War II. It began with a small guard unit known as the Saal-Schutz (Hall Security) made up of NSDAP volunteers to provide security for party meetings in Munich. In 1925, Heinrich Himmler joined the unit, which had by then been reformed and given its final name. Under his direction (1929–45) it grew from a small paramilitary formation to one of the most powerful organizations in Nazi Germany. From 1929 until the regime's collapse in 1945, the SS was the foremost agency of security, surveillance, and terror within Germany and German-occupied Europe.
The two main constituent groups were the Allgemeine SS (General SS) and Waffen-SS (Armed SS). The Allgemeine SS was responsible for enforcing the racial policy of Nazi Germany and general policing, whereas the Waffen-SS consisted of combat units within Nazi Germany's military. A third component of the SS, the SS-Totenkopfverbände (SS-TV), ran the concentration camps and extermination camps. Additional subdivisions of the SS included the Gestapo and the Sicherheitsdienst (SD) organizations. They were tasked with the detection of actual or potential enemies of the Nazi state, the neutralization of any opposition, policing the German people for their commitment to Nazi ideology, and providing domestic and foreign intelligence.
The SS was the organization most responsible for the genocidal killing of an estimated 5.5 to 6 million Jews and millions of other victims in the Holocaust. Members of all of its branches committed war crimes and crimes against humanity during World War II (1939–45). The SS was also involved in commercial enterprises and exploited concentration camp inmates as slave labor. After Nazi Germany's defeat, the SS and the NSDAP were judged by the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg to be criminal organizations. Ernst Kaltenbrunner, the highest-ranking surviving SS main department chief, was found guilty of crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg trials and hanged in 1946.
