• Podgorze - The tour starts at Schindler’s Factory on Lipowa Street. Without entering, the guide describes how Oskar Schindler transformed his enamelware factory into a sanctuary, using employment to shield against deportation and death. This introduction lays the historical groundwork for both the actual events and their cinematic depiction.
  The walk proceeds into Podgórze, the site of the Nazi German ghetto. Along Tarnowskiego Street, visitors can see where the iconic scene of the girl in the red coat was filmed. This moment prompts a deeper discussion about symbolism, Schindler’s moral awakening, and the influence of film on Holocaust memory.
  Crossing the Piłsudski Bridge—once a boundary between two worlds—the guide discusses forced relocations, smuggling, and the harsh separation between Jewish life in Kazimierz and imprisonment in the ghetto.
• Kazimierz The Former Jewish District - The tour continues to Józefa Street 12, where impactful scenes of resettlement and hiding during the ghetto liquidation were filmed in original courtyards and passages. On Ciemna Street, the story behind the filmed escape of Poldek Pfefferberg is shared—a moment of fear, survival, and quick thinking. At the junction of Dajwór and Na Przejściu Streets, visitors see the location of the symbolic ghetto gate built for the film, representing the forced passage from freedom into confinement. Walking through preserved streets, the guide explains how Kazimierz was emptied of its Jewish population during the occupation—and how decades later it served as a stand-in for the destroyed ghetto.
  The tour concludes in Kazimierz, once the vibrant center of Jewish life in Kraków, ending on Szeroka Street. Surrounded by historic synagogues, the guide introduces the district’s prewar community and explains why Spielberg chose Kazimierz to recreate scenes from the wartime ghetto.
