Hujowa Górka (sometimes Chujowa Górka) is a place near the site of Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp, where in April 1944 the Germans exhumed and incinerated the bodies of around ten thousand previously killed Jews, to hide the evidence of the crime before retreating from the area. The place took its name from the surname of Unterscharführer Albert Hujar (also Huyar) who committed and directed the executions.[1] It is also a mockery of Hujar's surname, which in the Polish language is pronounced the same as a vulgar expression for "penis"; the English equivalent is a slang meaning of "prick", hence the name is Polish for "Prick Hill".[2]
Albert Hujar, who served in the Schutzstaffel (SS) Concentration Camp service, is portrayed in the 1993 epic drama Schindler's List by Norbert Weisser. The film, shot in Kraków over 72 days, was directed and co-produced by Steven Spielberg.
