The end of World War II was not the end of problems for Poland. . . The country went from German occupation into Soviet "influence". Krakow again was supposed to play a symbolic role: the area not far from the Old Town was chosen by the Soviets as the location for a new steelworks. And, of course, with the Cold War in progress, this was supposed to become the biggest steelworks in the world. The steelworks was designed from scratch along with a whole town to provide housing for the laborers. Designing the city, the architects kept in mind the threat of the outbreak of World War III—they provided the town with 250 anti-bombing shelters. Today, the district of Nowa Huta is a perfect example of socialist urban design and all the ideology behind it. This is the place to understand the clash between the ideals of communism and the reality of life in this system.
We will meet at your hotel/apartment in Krakow and drive to the Nowa Huta District. There we will see: •The Administrative Buildings of the former Lenin Steelworks, •The residential buildings and 'neighbourhood units' which were supposed to serve the ideal socialist community, • The Central Square now dedicated to Ronald Reagan •The Museum of Nowa Huta and anti-bombing shelter, •An original 'Milk Bar' - a canteen subsidized by the state to promote meat-free dining in the era of shortage of meat , •The sight of the 'Nowa Huta Cross' and the place where the biggest anti-communist riots in this region happened. The tour will end at your hotel/apartment or at any other place of your choice.
