In the afternoon, crossed the river, visiting the Schindler's factory, now transformed into a museum of the Nazi occupation. Do you remember "Schindler's List", the drama movie directed by Steven Spielberg in 1993?

Nearby there was the ghetto, where all the Jews of the city were moved. But there is nothing left of it. Then again the bridge.

That was such a moving movie. Your pictures are fantastic.

I particularly like the photo of the woman working in the kitchen of the Judish restaurant. It reminds me a famous Vermeer's picture...
