Poland Will Never Forget Nor Forgive
... everyone wanted to be buried there, because it was like been buried in Jerusalem (or so the popular belief went). Over the next few centuries, between 40,000 and 70,000 people were buried there (and the site is not big, believe me). Around 1400, the current chapel was built to be an ossuary for the mass graves.

Krakow Part 2 (Visit to the Salt Mines)

If one is claustrophobic, you should avoid this tour. Morry and I took the additional mini tour of a ride up an elevator atop one of the large caverns which housed some shops. Inside of the mines are these areas with tab,es and chairs, small booths selling, what else? Salt, rock salt, table salt, crystals, knick knacks and ...
