The remains of some structures of the Krakow-Plaszow concentration camp. The red brick ruins, unfortunately defaced by graffiti, are surrounded by stones arranged in a circle on the ground, probably part of a commemorative path. A brick wall with colorful writings stands in the background, while bare trees frame the winter scene. The camp area, covering about 80 hectares, was built on the site of two Jewish cemeteries whose tombstones were used as construction material. Today the site is a public park, with few original elements still visible.
