Itinerary

1. Podgorze

The tour begins in front of Schindler’s Factory on Lipowa Street. Without entering the site, your guide explains how Oskar Schindler turned his enamelware factory into a place of refuge, using employment as protection against deportation and death. This introduction sets the historical foundation for both the real events and their cinematic portrayal. The walk continues into Podgórze, the location of the Nazi German ghetto. Along Tarnowskiego Street, see where the iconic scene of the girl in the red coat was filmed. This moment opens a deeper discussion about symbolism, Schindler’s moral awakening, and the role of film in shaping Holocaust memory. Crossing the Piłsudski Bridge—once a boundary between two worlds—the guide explains forced relocations, smuggling, and the brutal separation between Jewish life in Kazimierz and imprisonment in the ghetto.

Duration: 60 mins

2. Kazmierz The Former Jewish District

The route continues to Józefa Street 12, where powerful scenes of resettlement and hiding during the ghetto liquidation were filmed in original courtyards and passages. On Ciemna Street, hear the story behind the filmed escape of Poldek Pfefferberg—a moment of fear, survival, and quick thinking. At the junction of Dajwór and Na Przejściu Streets, see the location of the symbolic ghetto gate built for the film, representing the forced passage from freedom into confinement. Walking through preserved streets, learn how Kazimierz was emptied of its Jewish population during the occupation—and how decades later it became a stand-in for the destroyed ghetto. The tour concludes in Kazimierz, once the vibrant heart of Jewish life in Kraków, ending on Szeroka Street. Surrounded by historic synagogues, your guide introduces the district’s prewar community and explains why Spielberg chose Kazimierz to recreate scenes from the wartime ghetto.
