What makes Krakow: Schindler's Factory & Jewish Ghetto Guided Tour a unique experience ?
The museum presents the daily life and tragic events that took place in Krakow during World War II. The home of the museum is the site of the Schindler’s Factory shown in the Oscar-winning film "Schindler's List" by Stephen Spielberg. The unusual and modern exhibition of the museum will not leave anyone indifferent.
The owner of the original pharmacy obtained permission from the occupation authorities to run it in the ghetto. Throughout the existence of the closed district, he used his pharmaceutical activity as an effective camouflage to help the Jewish population. Together with the employees they employed, they dealt with delivering food, medicines, and handing over documents. The pharmacy became a meeting place for the people of the ghetto, where cultural, intellectual and social life took place. Today it is one of the important museums.
The Ghetto Heroes Square is a square in the Podgórze district of Krakow. In the years 1941–1943 it was within the ghetto. It was a place of concentration of the Jewish population before transport to concentration camps. Currently, there is an unusual monument in this place - several dozen cast-iron chairs standing individually in the square. They symbolize property and belongings of Krakow Jews scattered on the streets after the liquidation of the ghetto.
Kraków’s most prominent evidence of its ghetto is this 12-metre stretch of the original ghetto wall. In 1983, a commemorative plaque was raised, which reads in Hebrew and Polish: “Here they lived, suffered and died at the hands of the German torturers. From here they began their final journey to the death camps.”
Building No. 1 was the seat of the Jewish Council (Judenrat), established by the Nazi occupier and implementing its orders. There was also the main gate of the ghetto with the inscription "Yidiszer wojnbezirk" (in Yiddish: "Jewish residential district").
