Steven Spielberg Aur "Schindler's List" Movie Set
When Steven Spielberg came to Krakow in 1993 to film Schindler's List, unhon ne original Płaszów Concentration Camp site par shoot na karne ka faisla kiya taaki victims ke respect ko qaaim rakha ja sake.
Iski bajaye, unhon ne paas hi moojood Liban Quarry ko choose kiya aur original blueprints ki madad se Płaszów Camp ka ek exact replica tayyar kiya:
-
34 Barrack Blocks & Watchtowers: Set par barracks, watchtowers, gates, aur barbed wire fences banaye gaye the.
-
Gravestone Road Replica: Movie ka wo famous scene jahan road ko Jewish gravestones se banaya gaya hai, wo isi quarry ke center mein shoot hua tha (props ke roop mein replicas use kiye gaye the).
-
Commandant Amon Göth's Villa: Cliff ke upar Amon Göth (played by Ralph Fiennes) ke villa aur balcony ka set banaya gaya tha.
Aaj shooting ke 30+ saal baad bhi, yahan rusty watchtowers, fake gravestone road ke remnants, aur movie set ke iron structures dekhne ko milte hain jo ab nature aur dense plants ke sath blend ho chuke hain.
