thinking about adding Poland to a trip to Europe next year. I definitely want to go to Krakow. It is supposed to be the new and better Prague...but not commercialized.

My ancestors are from Posdan..not far from German border.

I'd really like to see the primeval forest too.

On a sadder note...I want to visit a camp. Some people who have gone say it will change your life forever. Others have told me to not go..it will haunt you horribly.

What do you think? Have you thought about it? Not even sure about getting around there. Have you done any research? Where is your family from?
