Its amazing to see Poland preserve history, especially when it comes to history that should never be repeated…for all to see.
There’s a few places in Krakow that have bullet holes in the walls from WWII (albeit not as nicely preserved as the one in the post). One is in Podgorze off of Piwna (former Jewish ghetto), where the entire facade is riddled with bullet holes. There was another one that I saw while riding the train to the airport; it’s a random building nearby the Kraków Grzegórzki train station, and I’m unsure if that one is intentionally being preserved or not. But nevertheless, seeing remnants from WWII still around is pretty jarring.
I have to ask: is the glass bullet proof?
I am currently in the train leaving Dresden and it was equally unsettling to see how black all the old baroque buildings are from the inferno that was unleashed upon the city back then…
My grandmother’s apartment still has bullet holes in the balcony window. Our war is more recent.
I often look at it and wonder should I replace those or keave them ….
It seems like a very executed project, very interesting!
In Warsaw you will also sometimes see immediate postwar ‘graffiti’ next to the entryway preserved this way.
What it invariably says is some variation on
‘Building checked, no explosives’.
The Nazis left both unexploded ordinance and intentional booby traps behind and every house still standing had to be examined and officially deemed safe.
