      Great video very interesting 👍 sad story indeed…we want to visit Poland soon.
      I will be visiting for the ghetto of venezia for the second time in my life.
      Interesting fact is the first one in Europe and where the origins of the word are …it was the only place where jews were sage during persecution time like in spain.

      Thanks Justin, I have visited Krakow many times and still get extremely emotional when viewing videos and documentaries Schindler's factory, Plac Nowy, Plaszow and the surrounding areas are an absolute must visit when in Krakow Keep them coming mate

      There was no blood bath at Plac Boharetow Getta. Each of the 70 chairs represents 1000 Jews who were deported from the ghetto and their personal items just tossed into the square.

      The tragedy is that people don"t know history (especially Americans unfortunately) and call camp in Oświęcim Polish Camp.
      It is former Nazi Camp!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Very interesting Justin. Thank you. I’ll visit one day. Did you also know, that there was a ghetto in Riga, in almost where you went to a flea market and where you were buying some old riga balsam. There is a museum. Would be nice to see video from there. There are also couple of memorials in Riga, where Jewish people where killed. One of them in Rumbula. Nazis were bringing people by trains from Europe to Riga ghetto and then killing them, then bringing more and so on. There is also one distroyed sinagog, which was burned I think with people inside. Horrible, but it might be interesting for you to visit.

      Ahhhh Krakow, my home from home! Great to see Random Dave too, I really miss his vlogs.
      Justin, you did it again my friend. I'm looking forward to the day I can share a beer with you!
      Plac Nowy is a great market with superb Zapiekanki, there is no elegant way to scoffing one 😂😂 The last time I had one from there, by the time I had finished, it looked like I had been shot in the face, sauce EVERYWHERE! 😂😂😂

      You want to make money, you bring that to Australia and sell it for $10/pc and up, they are onto a winner, we need something new and fresh here

      Love Krakow. Zapiekanka (from that exact food joint) is unreal. Just wanted to add that your vlogs have gave me confidence to go solo travelling, with Wroclaw booked for Sunday!

      I recently rewatched your Poland videos. Thank you for making another video in this amazing country. I didn't realise those tombstone-like walls were still standing. Reading about the Poles in WW2 at the moment too, so this video really was a great surprise.

      You were great as always. I cannot wait more videos from you 🙂 Bagel means obwarzanek, you can buy it from any stand scattered around Krakow 🙂
