Krakow: Schindler's Factory & Ghetto & Plaszow CC Guided Tour

5 hours

Moderate

Visit the museum in Schindler's factory, supplement your knowledge with the presence of the authentic locations of the Jewish ghetto and labor camps seen earlier at the exhibition

Schindler's Factory is very popular among tourists. First of all because the tragic events that took place in Krakow during the Second World War are shown in Stephen Spielberg's Oscar-winning film "Schindler's List". The museum's atypical and modern exhibition will leave no one indifferent. Learn the story of a German entrepreneur who led many Jews through the war.    

The streets of Jewish Ghetto and Podgórze district, still keep evidence of those terrible events.
You will see a part of the undestroyed wall around the ghetto,
houses where thousands of displaced Jews used to live, the pharmacy "Under the Eagle",
a monument with 68 chairs in the Heroes' Square in the ghetto.    

Plaszow is a Nazi concentration camp in the southern suburbs of Krakow, founded by the Nazis shortly after the German invasion of Poland. Originally, Plashow, opened in 1940, was planned as a forced labor camp, but in 1941 the camp was expanded and subsequently converted into a concentration camp, where from October 28, 1942, deportation of Jews from the Krakow ghetto began. Plashow was known as a concentration camp, supplying several military factories and a quarry with labor. The camp and life in it are shown in the Schindler's List movie (1993) about the life of Oskar Schindler. The area which held the camp now consists of sparsely wooded hills and fields, with one large memorial to all the victims, erected in 1964 and few smaller. As the Plaszow area is now a nature preserve, so the director Steven Spielberg built a camp replica in the Liban Quarry, some hundred meters away. We will visit all this points during our tour.
