For the people who love World War II, Poland is the place to go to see the rich history that lies there. It is full of rather painful memories of the Jews being thrown into concentration camps and then put in gas chambers. There are a lot of places in Poland that used to house concentration camps that can still be visited today.
The Warsaw Ghetto
The Warsaw Ghetto is known as one of the most popular attraction in Poland. Known for the famous capture of the Jews that were at Warsaw, the town has flourished to be more popular than ever. Nowadays, museums decorate this city where the concentration camps used to be. There is also some of the original wall there to remind all who looks upon it the pain and suffering that happened there.
Majdanek
Another popular place in Poland that housed the first Nazi concentration Camp is Majdanek. Majdanek was the final resting place for those who were unfortunate enough to have to face the gas chamber. When the allies arrive, the gas chamber was still working; the only one that they could ever find that was still in operation.
Tykocin
Tykocin is also near an extermination camp of Treblinka. This Jewish village was completely destroyed when the Nazis came in. The synagogue there was sacred and one of the best places to visit in Poland. Today, the synagogue has been turned into a museum to show off famous Jewish artifacts.
