Oskar Schindler’s Enamel Factory - Visit one of Kraków’s most popular museums — Schindler’s Enamel Factory, where history is vividly brought to life through compelling exhibitions and expert narration. This museum offers more than just a biography; it provides an in-depth exploration of the Nazi occupation era, illustrating how the war reshaped the city and its inhabitants’ lives.
With a licensed expert guide, bypass the long ticket queues and delve into the exhibition “Kraków under Nazi Occupation 1939–1945.” Located in the former enamel factory of Oskar Schindler, the museum highlights not only his story but also the everyday experiences of Kraków’s Jewish and non-Jewish residents during the war.
As you navigate the galleries, you’ll discover original artifacts, photographs, and immersive reconstructions. Much of the exhibition is set in a series of narrow, dimly lit rooms, intentionally designed to evoke the confinement, fear, and uncertainty that pervaded life under Nazi rule. -
The Ghetto Heroes Square - Proceed to the Kraków Ghetto, where remnants of the original ghetto wall stand as silent witnesses to the hardships endured there. Visit Ghetto Heroes Square, once a site of mass deportations, now featuring the poignant Chair Memorial, with each empty chair symbolizing a life lost. Nearby, explore the Under the Eagle Pharmacy, where the courageous pharmacist Tadeusz Pankiewicz risked his life to offer medicine, shelter, and hope to ghetto residents.
This tour is more than just sightseeing — it’s a profound engagement with Kraków’s past. Guided by local experts, you’ll traverse streets that once thrived with prewar Jewish life, later witnessing tragedy, and depart with a deeper appreciation of the city’s history, memory, and enduring spirit.
