Jews saved by Schindler observe 65 yrs since Krakow ghetto liquidation
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Hundreds of people joined some two dozen Holocaust survivors, including several saved by German industrialist Oskar Schindler, in a march Sunday marking the 65th anniversary of the liquidation of the Krakow ghetto by the Nazis.
Family members, historians and Krakow residents and officials gathered with the survivors in a square in the heart of the former ghetto to say Kaddish.
The group then set out to retrace the steps of Jews driven from the ghetto during its 1943 liquidation to the forced labor camp in Plaszow, some two kilometers (one mile) away, where around 8,000 Jews and non-Jewish Poles - perished during the war.
