Itinerary

1. Fabryka Emalia Oskara Schindlera
Visit Schindler’s Enamel Factory, today one of Kraków’s most visited and moving museums, and step into the story of a man whose actions made history. With a licensed expert guide, you’ll explore the acclaimed exhibition “Kraków under Nazi Occupation 1939–1945” through the lens of Oskar Schindler’s extraordinary life. This is the place where Schindler employed Jewish workers and used his position, influence, and resources to protect them from deportation. More than a thousand men and women survived thanks to his courage and determination. As you walk through the exibition, your guide will bring to life the stories of those he saved, often called “Schindlerjuden,” whose testimony continues to resonate across generations. Photographs, personal objects, and reconstructed streets show the fear, uncertainty, and daily struggles faced by the city’s inhabitants. Within this backdrop of oppression, Schindler’s story emerges as one of humanity and hope.
Duration: 90 mins
2. Ghetto Wall Fragment
The walking part of the tour begins among the remnants of the Kraków Ghetto. Walking deeper into the district, you stop by Józefińska 41, once home to an orphanage, welfare offices, and a hospital—all vital lifelines within the ghetto walls. The preserved fragments of those walls remain a stark reminder of confinement, separation, and loss.
Duration: 30 mins

At Ghetto Heroes Square, today marked by the symbolic Chair Memorial, you’ll learn how this open space became the site of round-ups and deportations to concentration camps.
