One of our last ventures outside of Krakow was to the city of Warsaw, January 2009. Today I read on the internet that the last-living leader of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising 1943, has passed away. His name Marek Edelman, at the age of 90.

He saved many, and has lived in their honor since the end of WWII.
If you are fortunate to go to Warszawa, spend a day at the Warsaw Rising Museum.

I saw that news article too. Very heroic and sad. I am traveling to Krakow this January with a group of friends. I have enjoyed reading all of your posts and looking at your pictures. Is there any chance that you would be interested in giving some travelers a little advice? email me at resi(at)pipeline.com Hopefully writing my address that way will keep away the email bots!
