Jewish Quarters and the Pope is from Krakow.
Krakow used to house thousands of Jews until World War II, now less than 100 Jews live here. Kameriz, the Jewish Quarter, is a reminder of the Nazi horror, as buildings still remain empty. After walking through that area and seeing Schindler's Factory (from Schindler's List) we went to the Krakow Galleria, similar to Auburn's Colonial Mall, but with a movie theatre. We actually watched "She's the Man"- a stupid, silly movie. Then we went back to the hostel, checked out, and went to ANOTHER movie, Tsotsi, an academy award winning South African movie. Apparently, whatever language is spoken in South Africa is not understandable to the American English speaker and Polish subtitles did not help! Hopefully the movie will nave no similarities to my experience in South Africa. Dinner was a huge, thick piece of pizza, and then we went to the train station. Right now we are in a sleeping compartment by ourselves. Pray it will stay that way the whole way to Prague.
