A visitor takes a photo at the Museum of Survivors, located in a factory where Oskar Schindler saved some 1200 Jews during WWII, in Brnenec, Czech Republic, on May 10.

The former textile factory in the town of Brněnec was stolen by the Nazis from its Jewish owners in 1938 and turned into a concentration camp. This weekend it welcomed the first visitors to the Museum of Survivors.
