Podgórze

Kraków, Poland, 2013

I had the chance to discover a forgotten district in Kraków... Podgórze. Known especially for what it was used to be in the war. Now it seems like any other district in any other city, but of course, you can always feel in the air the sadness of it. Podgórze was were the Jewish ghetto was placed by the Nazis back in the war.

Bohaterów

Kraków, Poland, 2012

Plac Bohaterów Ghetta means Square of Ghetto's Heroes in Polish. The old ghetto was in this area in war times and all the jews departing to different concentration camps were gathered here before getting on the trains. The chairs represent the objects many of them had to leave before departing.

Old New

Hofgarten, Munich, Germany, 2012

This building is so beautiful, it has a mixture of old and new. It was almost completely destroyed on WWII by the allied bombs and it has been rebuilt to what it is now, keeping its former central form combined with the newer structures on the sides.

Omaha

Omaha Beach, Normandie, France, 2012

I had the chance to go to Normandie and visit some of the key places for the allied invasion into German occupied France. This is Omaha Beach, the beach where more than 4000 men were killed in battle, ending with the allied victory over the Germans.
