Oskar Schindler, a German industrialist, risked his life to save his Jewish employees from the concentration camps. Discover his remarkable life by visiting his factory in Kraków on this guided tour.
At the designated time, we'll meet in front of the entrance to Oskar Schindler's Factory. Are you ready to discover the story of wartime Kraków and the man who saved more than 1,200 Jewish people during the Holocaust?
First, through the guide's explanations, we'll learn about Schindler's complicated motivations and the events that led him to risk his life to protect his workers. As we explore the museum's immersive exhibition, we'll travel back to Krakow during the German occupation. Thanks to the museum's documentary photographs, testimonies, historical documents, and multimedia displays, we'll discover how the war transformed everyday life in the city and affected its Jewish community.
We'll then step into reconstructed scenes of wartime Kraków, from a photographer's shop and a tram journey through the occupied city to a typical Jewish apartment in the ghetto. These installations offer a powerful insight into the fear, uncertainty and resilience experienced by the city's inhabitants, as well as the resistance movements and eventual liberation.
Throughout the tour, we'll also encounter personal objects, photographs, newspapers and other historical artefacts that help bring individual stories to life. We'll learn about the persecution of Kraków's Jewish population, the hardships of life under Nazi occupation, and the events that shaped the city during the Second World War.
At the end of our visit, after a total of 1.5 hours, we'll have gained a deeper understanding of Schindler's legacy and Kraków's wartime history, reflecting on the human stories behind one of the darkest chapters in European history.
