Exploring Nazi Death Camp (film location) Liban Quarry, Poland
One of the creepiest, most forgotten places in Kraków (Poland), the Liban Quarry is a confusing mix of industrial business, Nazi death camp and film history.
Used as the Płaszów concentration camp set for Steven Spielberg's Oscar winning film 'Schindler's List' remnants of the set fall into decay along with the limekilns used for the processing of quicklime.
It's important to note that the Liban Quarry WAS used as a forced-labour camp during 1942-44 whereas Spielberg used this location as the set of the Płaszów concentration camp, which was located nearby but not used by Spielberg out of respect.
I recommend watching the film prior to exploring this place. I wish I had seen the film before I went (I watched it on the flight home) and I feel I missed out on what the quarry can represent.

⛔ ASÍ ERA MORIR EN AUSCHWITZ: LOS CAMPOS DE CONCENTRACIÓN DEL HOLOCAUSTO, POLONIA
SUSCRÍBETE▶ Así se ven los campos de concentración de Auschwitz en 2018. Acompañame a esta visita a Oswiecim, Polonia donde hice este documental que registra el estado actual de los campos de Auschwitz Birkenau, Auschwitz Monowitz, y Auschwitz I.
A solo 43 Km de Cracovia, este fue el mayor centro de exterminio masivo. En el fueron víctimas judíos, gitanos, rusos y disidentes del régimen.
Sus principales dirigentes fueron Heinrich Himmler, Rudolf Höss quienes fueran posteriormente capturados y procesados en los juicios de Nuremberg.
Hoy en día es un patrimonio de la humanidad desde 1979 por ser uno de los lugares de mayor simbolismo del Holocausto.
Actualmente reconocido como el Museo estatal Auschwitz-Birkenau un centro memorial de información sobre lo acontecido en este lugar tras la decretada solución final del régimen nazi.

Dachau Concentration Camp - Munich, Germany
Tour the Dachau Concentration Camp near Munich Germany with me. You will see the extermination showers, the crematorium, the barracks, and more. You will also learn about the types of experiments that were conducted here and see the living quarters and how they changed during the course of the war.
This is a heavy-hitting video. You can even notice my demeanor change from the beginning of the video to the end. I don't know if I will go to another concentration camp or not after this; it's quite depressing to see what we are capable of doing to one another.

Umschagplatz today
The Warsaw Umschagplatz was the point of deportation to the Treblinka death camp. In the summer of 1942 around 250,000 people and in 1943 around 50,000 people passed through it on their way to death. This is what it looks like today.
(The quality of the film may be worse than usual as I had to reduce it to meet with You Tube requirements. I am not familiar with use of the movie maker software and apart from that do not have time to learn it so I apologise in advance.)
Filmed on 17 and 24 February 2007.
My channel on you tube : is one of the most prolific from Poland, although unfortunately not the most visited. With almost one film per day, one may be forgiven for thinking I do nothing else but I do have a day job as well. I have produced more than 400 original films, most in English but also in Polish, French, Italian, Spanish and the occassional hint of German and Hebrew. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects

There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focussing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers. Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!
Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region and the sites and give a pretty good idea where future films are going to come from! Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!
In 1997 I founded Polish Business News .There are a number of business related films here and I intend to do many more on CRM (customer relations management).
My blog can be found via and and contains background information and more details of many of my films. This information is in English.
I have also a second blog on the site . This site has been recently started by a friend and I think it will soon be one of the leading travel sites in Poland, if not Central Europe. It contains additional information about some of the places and events shown in these films but most of that is in Polish.
Railway station at Bełżec

The below film shows the railway station at Bełżec, filmed in June 2013. In the film I describe what happened here during 1942 when the nearby death camp killed at least 434,000 people. The station itself however is much older and as it was a border station had facilities which were much greater than its passenger and goods traffic would require. Today the station operates only very limited services. I also describe my first visit here in November 1995.
The Nazi death camp at Bełżec operated from 16 March 1942 until July 1943 although mass killings stopped at the end of November 1942. During this short time, at least 434,000 people were killed here, not only the Jewish population of the Lublin district and Galicia but also people were brought here from other countries including Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia.
It was here that the Jewish populations of such large communities such as Lublin, Kraków and Lwów were brought to be murdered. In this film we can see the names of the towns where the victims came from.
Bełżec was chosen due to the access from various railway lines there. It was formerly a border point between Austria to the south and the Russian Empire to the north until the Treaty of Versailles placed it in Poland. The early twentieth century engine sheds which had been built to house Austrian locomotives were used to store the possessions of the victims.
Killing was done via what appears to have been an engine from a Soviet BT tank in gas chambers which were little more than garden sheds with two walls with the interior filled with sand. The bodies were buried in massive pits dug by a group of around 500 prisoners who were replaced as they grew weaker. The SS garrison was only around 20 - 30 people supported by around 200 auxilliaries made up largely of former Soviet POWs.
The first victims came from the Lublin ghetto with around 1,600 - 2,000 people being killed every day but later this was stepped up as the wave of killings took in other towns in the region.
After the killings stopped in November 1942, a group of POWs stayed behind to dig up the bodies and burn them on three or four pyres - work that took until the summer of 1943 when the SS decided that they had had enough and stopped the work. This is why some mass graves were not opened. The prisoners were then sent to Sobibór where they were murdered.
