Navigating across town we find a parking spot somewhere near our planned destination and start walking on an already hot morning.
Somehow, I am sure the morning heat will add to my experience of the next couple of hours.
We arrive at Schindler's Factory where a small queue has formed for admission into a building that holds a sad part of Poland's history.
Since we are a family of four we get a discounted admission of 50PLN instead of 76PLN based on an individual admission of 19PLN per adult.
For about the next two hours I painfully learn more about the history of this beautiful city and the atrocities committed here against innocent people.
It is truly a moving experience to find out more about such a sad chapter in Poland's and humanity's history.
Corrupting even the innocent
My most touching moment comes towards the end of the tour while reading a displayed quote about a victim pleading for help knowing she was going to the gas chamber.
Mr Schindler was definitely a hero of the day
Unfortunately, the world still needs more people like Mr. Schindler because in many ways and places similar atrocities still sadly continue.

Did you visit any of the concentration camps while you were there?
I've never even thought of seeing Schindler's factory before, may have to add it to my to-do list!
