KRK

Arts & Culture

Every Polish person knows the legend of the Wawel dragon. Long before Krakow existed, there was a dragon that lived in a cave under the Wawel hill. It terrorised the population until King Krak promised his daughter’s hand in marriage to the man who killed the dragon. Shoemaker Skuba fed the monster a sheep filled with sulphur and now it is safe to visit the Dragon cave once again.

A visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau is a moving experience. More than a million people were killed here. The largest extermination camp of Nazi-Germany was a well-oiled killing machine of frightening proportions. After the Red Army liberated the camp on 27 January 1945, Auschwitz became the silent symbol of the Holocaust, the mass murder of 6 million Jews.
