Description: This is Central Poland. The journey starts on the road towards Koło and a sight that is quite common on the Polish roads - that of young ladies standing at the edge. Girls, known as Tirówki, allegedly because they serve the needs of TIR drivers although as one comment points out, most of their clients are people in passenger cars. Prostitution is legal in Poland, like most countries it is only illegal to live off 'immoral earnings'. As such prostitutes are a quite a common site although perhaps not as much as they used to be, particularly on the international routes in places where the traffic is not moving too fast.
The countryside around Koło and south towards Grabów is especially attractive in summer as the harvest is being brought in.
However it also holds the Chelmno nad Ner death camp where the Jewish population of central Poland was murdered.
This film shows part of the Chelmno nad Ner death camp but very little is shown. Anyone interested in this subject can consult:

My channel on you tube : http://www.youtube.com/alanheath is one of the most prolific from Poland, although unfortunately not the most visited. With almost one film per day, one may be forgiven for thinking I do nothing else but I do have a day job as well. I have produced more than 400 original films, most in English but also in Polish, French, Italian, Spanish and the occassional hint of German and Hebrew. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects
Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating!
There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- http://www.ceepackaging.com - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focussing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers. Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!
Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region and the sites http://www.ceepackaging.com/articles/... and http://www.ceepackaging.com/articles/... give a pretty good idea where future films are going to come from! Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!
In 1997 I founded Polish Business News http://www.pbn.com.pl .There are a number of business related films here and I intend to do many more on CRM (customer relations management).
My blog can be found via http://www.ceepackaging.com and http://www.pbn.com.pl and contains background information and more details of many of my films. This information is in English.
