Bus shot...on the way to the Wieliczka Salt Mine and after that back to Krakow.

The Płaszów Monument was unveiled in 1964 on the site of Płaszów's second mass execution pit, this monolithic memorial depicts five figures (representing the five countries of Płaszów's victims) with heads bent under the weight of the massive stone block from which they're carved and a horizontal crack across their chests, symbolizing their abruptly ended lives. The large Polish inscription across the back of the monument reads, “To the memory of the martyrs murdered by the Nazi perpetrators of genocide in the years 1943-45.”

The Płaszów concentration camp was a Nazi concentration camp built by the SS on the grounds of two former Jewish cemeteries and populated with prisoners during the liquidation of the Kraków Ghetto. The camp was notorious for horrible terrors. The Commander the camp, an SS commandant who was sadistic in his treatment and killing of prisoners. “Witnesses say he would never start his breakfast without shooting at least one person.”
