If you are cycling here, remember that this was the place, where the KZ Plaszow was erected. After the so called 'liquidation' of the Krakow Ghetto, located in Podgorze, the Jews had to walk south to this place. The KZ is mostly known for its commander, Amon Göth, who was played by Ralph Fiennes in Steven Spielberg's 'Schindler's List'. Göth was known as "Schlächter von Plaszow" - "Butcher of Plaszow" - as he was feared for his arbitrariness concerning the killing of Jews.

When it was erected, 8.000 people were in the KZ, its peak was reached in the summer of 1944, when more than 24.000 people lived in the KZ. More than 8.000 people died in the KZ.

Furthermore, as can be seen on the map, the KZ was located on the "Podgorski cmentarz zydowski nowy/stary" - the old and the new graveyard of the Jews.
