The route passes through Ghetto Heroes Square in the Podgórze district, a place closely connected to the history of the Kraków Ghetto. Redesigned in 2005 as a memorial space, the square is marked by rows of empty metal chairs symbolizing forced displacement and absence—one of Kraków’s most powerful commemorative sites.

Plaszow Concentration CampEstablished in 1942 on the grounds of former Jewish cemeteries, Płaszów evolved from a forced-labor camp into a concentration camp. More than 35,000 prisoners were held here, and thousands lost their lives. During the guided visit, you will trace the former layout of the camp through surviving locations such as the Grey House, the roll-call area, remnants of camp infrastructure, mass graves, and the Monument of Torn-Out Hearts. The story of Oskar Schindler forms an important part of the narrative, as many prisoners registered in Płaszów were later transferred to his factory—an act that saved more than a thousand lives. With few physical remains, the impact of Płaszów lies in its atmosphere. The quiet landscape encourages careful listening, remembrance, and thoughtful reflection on one of the darkest chapters in Kraków’s history.
