    It's not easy to find what was once the largest ghetto in Europe as it was completely obliterated by the Nazis in 1943. What you see in films such as The Pianist or Schindler's List was filmed in the
    old town or in Krakow.

    Now there are only rather poor looking housing blocks but nevertheless, it's interesting to walk around these streets as there seeems to be a sense of the past there.

    The monument to the ghetto heroes is impressive in Soviet style and the remains of the gruesome Pawiak Prison are very moving. From there, you can easily walk back to the old town.

    Schindler's List was filmed in Krakow because that's where the story happened in real life.
