- Oskar Schindler’s Enamel Factory - Start your journey at Schindler’s Enamel Factory, now one of Kraków’s most impactful and frequently visited museums. With a certified guide, delve into the permanent exhibition “Kraków under Nazi Occupation 1939–1945”, told through the narrative of Oskar Schindler. Here, Schindler employed Jewish workers and leveraged his influence, resources, and personal risk to shield them from deportation. Over a thousand individuals survived due to his efforts. As you explore the exhibition, your guide highlights the voices of those he saved—often referred to as Schindlerjuden—whose stories continue to echo through time. Photographs, personal items, and reconstructed streets depict the fear, uncertainty, and daily challenges of life under occupation. Amidst this grim setting, Schindler’s deeds emerge as a remarkable example of compassion, defiance, and hope.
- Ghetto Wall Fragment - The walking tour proceeds among the remaining fragments of the Kraków Ghetto. You’ll pause at Józefińska 41, which once housed an orphanage, welfare offices, and a hospital—vital institutions that sustained life within the enclosed district. The preserved wall sections stand as poignant reminders of separation, confinement, and loss.
- Plac Bohaterów Getta - At this symbolic square—now marked by the Memorial of Chairs—you’ll discover how the area became a site of round-ups and deportations to concentration camps, and how it is commemorated today.
- Eagle Pharmacy - Museum of Krakow - Across the square is the Under the Eagle Pharmacy, where pharmacist Tadeusz Pankiewicz and his team risked their lives to assist ghetto residents. From this modest space came medicine, shelter, forged documents, and moments of hope in an otherwise dire reality.
