More information

Located in the Podgórze district of Kraków, Oskar Schindler’s Factory is one of the city’s most moving historical sites. Today it operates as a museum dedicated to Kraków under Nazi occupation during World War II.

Background and historical context

The factory once belonged to Oskar Schindler, a German industrialist who saved more than 1,000 Jewish workers by employing them during the Holocaust. The original enamelware factory has been transformed into a museum that documents daily life in occupied Kraków, the persecution of Jewish residents and the broader wartime experience of the city.

Why visit

This is not a traditional museum focused solely on Schindler himself. Instead, the exhibitions use photographs, documents, recreated interiors and personal stories to immerse visitors in the realities of the period. The visit provides essential historical context and a deeper understanding of Kraków’s wartime past.
