Krakow ghettos

 Krakow - the city that never sleeps - is what the inhabitants call the place where they lead their peaceful and monotonous lives every day. Now questions for you: Maybe you live in Krakow? Have you visited Krakow?

So let me tell you a story that should encourage you to come to this place, especially if you have a strong will, character, and a strong psyche. After arriving in Krakow, you should start looking for Miodowa Street or, possibly, Plac Bohaterów Getta, as these streets contain old tenement houses where the Jewish population was hiding during the Second World War. After some time, the Germans discovered the whereabouts of people trying to protect themselves from being sent to concentration camps. German soldiers without exception carried out the executions of everyone without exception, usually at night, so as not to cause panic among the population, at the same time saving themselves time. They quickly entered the rooms where the Jews were sleeping, put their weapons to their temples, and fired shots with a steady hand. Of course, there were quite a lot of Nazis, which made it easier for them to complete their task.

The buildings where executions were carried out are now open to the public, some apartments can even be rented, but most people who moved into one of these apartments quit very quickly ...  The former owners, who had the opportunity to stay in this place for a short period of time, could not stand it mentally. They talk about events that take place late at night, around 3:30 am, people around this hour say you can hear footsteps approaching, until finally two men talking, probably speaking German, can be heard from behind the door. Then the door to the room slowly opens, despite being locked. Some tenants are already giving up at this point, packing their bags and leaving the haunted place in a hurry. However, there are also those who are not disturbed by strange noises and the door opening. They stay in their beds, not paying attention to what has just happened, they treat it as a mere coincidence.

Unfortunately, the strange phenomena do not end there. For those who haven't quit, an unpleasant surprise awaits. They claim that cold sweat is pouring on them, their hands begin to tremble, their breathing becomes faster, and the feeling in their legs weakens. They hear as if someone is approaching their bed, the deep breath of someone standing next to them, after a while they feel cold steel pressed against their head, and at this point, they cannot do anything, cannot move or speak. They can't even close their eyes ... Then comes a shot, feel piercing pain radiating all over the body, thick blood begins to drip from the temples onto the pillow ... A moment of silence, peace, reflection, followed by a very loud woman scream and a child's cry, then everything goes silent ... The eyelids fall limply over the eyes, after which you fall asleep. People wake up in the morning with a strong headache, the morning rays of the sun shyly penetrate into a still dark room, because even the sun is afraid to look in here. This is how those who experienced it describe it.

You have just witnessed the events that took place in this place in 1939-1944. You do not have to worry about your mental health, everything will be back to normal, except for one small detail - always around 3:30 am you will hear a woman scream in your head and a baby cry, they will come back to you every night. You will feel the suffering of a young woman who was taken from her husband, child, and then her own life.
