[Jewish descendant, educator and a guide describing his first visit to the former KL Plaszow site.] “I knew at that point that KL Plaszow existed, and that my grandfather had been there, but–and even though I was in Kraków for ten days, I was like: ‘Well, it’s probably not important to go, because it’s… you know, it’s so far away, and everyone was telling me that there’s nothing there.’ So I didn’t go there, either. When [I moved here in 2017 I went for the first time in November, with a friend of mine, who was visiting. It was November, maybe like 5 PM, it’s already getting dark, so we walked around a little. And I was like–oh, this is so… I found it very beautiful. The tall grass that’s growing there, there’s this tall plants, right, so I was like, very struck by that. I was interested in the playgrounds that are built on this site.”
