After a while we arrived at the factory, which was being converted into a museum but as the project was way behind schedule there was only a temporary exhibition to look around. When Podgórze became the site of the Jewish Ghetto many Germans set up businesses in the area in an attempt to profit from the Nazi invasion of Poland. Oskar Schindler was such a man, but in the end he came to save the lives of over eleven hundred Jews that worked in his factory, often at great risk to his own life and at personal expense.

Did you feel excited being there or was the mood ruined because the project was incomplete?

A bit of both I would say. Not being completed didn’t really spoil it, it was about being there.

That’s how I bet I’d feel too: the being there.

Yes so sad after all of the heroic efforts he made. Still an inspiration of what is possible in humanity in the face of such horrific events.
