Yesterday,the Inauguration Museum of History at Oscar Schindler factory in Krakow took place.
The speeches were either in German or Polish and of course, translated into Polish/German depending who was giving the speech.
I really did not know which one I preferred, I don't understand 100% of neither Polish nor German. Let's say that sometimes I understood things mixing both, the speech and the translation. But anyway it was really hard for me to get everything, over all, after 1 hour speeches, when my brain started to melt...
Mainly, the speeches were about the history of the cities (Krakow and Leipzig) concerning the "Aryanization" of society from the National-Socialism party during 1933 till 1945. Basically, how the jews were tortured, stolen and killed. For the SS the jews were "Aryanised".
Also the relationships in between the cities were mentioned as well as different compliments and thanks to everyone. (I think I heard Dziękuję and Danke/Vielen dank more than 50 times during 1 hour. So polite are they in Centre-Europe! :) )
Of course, I missed several things, but as i said, I needed 150% of my brain to translate and to decipher everything...
In the exposition could we see several stories about jews from the late 1800's and early 1900's with such a prosperous business, families and reputations in the German society...
How the regimen planned to get their business without losing any cent in the change, having the same reputation but changing completely the place where the profit was ending up...
The 1st of April 1933 Boycott explained as a way of defense against the Jew society...
Art stealing, and many other interesting things to see and think about...
Pretty most of the exposition can be seen in the following pdf (Pictures included!):

And actually better written than the way could I ever explain it.
Further information, of course, in beloved wikipedia:
