In May 1940, the Nazi occupation authority announced that Kraków should become the "cleanest" city in the General Government, an occupied, but unannexed part of Poland. Massive deportation of Jews from the city were ordered. Of the more than 68,000 Jews in Kraków when the Germans invaded, only 15,000 workers and their families were permitted to remain. All other Jews were ordered out of the city, to be resettled into surrounding rural areas.
The Kraków Ghetto was formally established on 3 March 1941 in the Podgórze district, not in the Jewish district of Kazimierz. Displaced Polish families from Podgórze took up residences in the former Jewish dwellings outside the newly established Ghetto. Meanwhile, 15,000 Jews were crammed into an area previously inhabited by 3,000 people who used to live in a district consisting of 30 streets, 320 residential buildings, and 3,167 rooms. As a result, one apartment was allocated to every four Jewish families, and many less fortunate lived on the street.
The Ghetto was surrounded by walls that kept it separated from the rest of the city. All windows and doors that gave onto the "Aryan" side were ordered bricked up. Only four guarded entrances allowed traffic to pass through. In a grim foreshadowing of the near future, these walls contained panels in the shape of tombstones. Small sections of the wall still remain today.
Young peole of the Akiva youth movement, who had undertaken the publication of an underground newsletter, HeHaluc HaLohem ("The Fighting Pioneer"), joined forces with other Zionists to form a local branch of the Jewish Fighting Organization (ŻOB, Polish: Żydowska Organizacja Bojowa), and organize resistance in the ghetto, supported by the Polish underground Armia Krajowa. The group carried out a variety of resistance activities including the bombing of the Cyganeria cafe, a gathering place of Nazi officers. Unlike in Warsaw, their efforts did not lead to a general uprising before the ghetto was liquidated.
From 30 May 1942 the Nazis deported people to the death camp at Belzec. On 13 - 14 March 1943 the final 'liquidation' of the ghetto was carried out under the command of SS-Untersturmführer Amon Göth. Eight thousand Jews deemed able to work were transported to the Plaszow labor camp. Others were either murdered in the ghetto or transported to Auschwitz where they were killed.

@HitlerWasTooNice SS-Rottenführer Oskar Gröning to publicly speak about what he witnessed at Auschwitz, and denounce Holocaust deniers stating:I would like you to believe me. I saw the gas chambers. I saw the crematoria. I saw the open fires. I was on the ramp when the selections took place. I would like you to believe that these atrocities happened because I was there

@HitlerWasTooNice Zyklon-B handler and SS-Oberscharführer Josef Klehr has said that anyone who maintains that nobody was gassed at Auschwitz must be "crazy or on the wrong" SS-Unterscharführer Oswald Kaduk has stated that he does not consider those who maintain such a thing as normal people.Zyklon-B handler and SS-Oberscharführer Josef Klehr has said that anyone who maintains that nobody was gassed at Auschwitz must be "crazy or on the wrong"

How can you people watch these poor people that are surely gonna be dead by the next season and be hatefull and argue like animals. Imagine that was you with that band on youre arm at that time. Have some respect for the dead they suffered enough. Its easy to judge and hate sitting on youre ass in front of a computer aguing with people youre never gonna see. Truth is none of you are doing anything to make things better and all youre hatefull remarks(truth or false) only make things worse

@Zahal948 Im not a liar ,I have nothing to gain by you believing me or not .I am not A Jew ,a Muslim,or a German. Go and look up Jewish racism on youtube Here,now.See with your own eyes Jews calling for A Black free Israel just as the Nazi's called f for a Jew free Germany.Do not take my word for anything ,see for yourself.Match your fanaticism by investing some time doing some research.Start questioning the things that do not make sense.Do not believe all you are told all the time.Peace.

@Gookbuster1 u are a liar and u exactly know that. Without such jerks like u there would have not been Jewish nation, just recall Egyptians, Babilonians, Romans, Haman, Arabs, Christians in the middle ages, Hitler...LOL I laugh on you.

[Gookbuster1]

@Zahal948 True !without Jewish funding there would have been no Hitler ,no Bolshevik revolution ,no Churchill as Prime Minister to declare war on the Germans.

@banacek8675 It is repeating itself and in Israel.Check out youtube posts of racism in Israel .Check out the atrocities carried out against Israel's neighbours. Israeli tanks flattening Houses with people still in them.Very Nazi.

@tarnowek1 Maybe those in Israel should remember while they oppress those around them.Maybe the US should remember as they paid for and armed Hitler's regime.Maybe all those that built an Empire on the backs of others should remember.

@Gookbuster1 Who is this 'they' you refer to?  Did you make this up?

[Gookbuster1]

@Jacklord1967 They said that the Nazi,s turned Jews into soap.In 1990, though, Israel's official Yad Vashem Holocaust center “rewrote history" by admitting that the soap story was not true. "Historians have concluded that soap was not made from human fat. When so many people deny the Holocaust ever happened, why give them something to use against the truth?," said Yad Vashem official Shmuel Krakowski

@vampiroangelico I write above that I think the New Testament is fiction. As for the Romans introducing democracy .... well, I am sure people in the Roman Empire went to the polls regularly. I seem to have forgotten how often the Roman Emperors held a general election - can you remind me?
