Begin at Schindler’s Enamel Factory, today one of Kraków’s most powerful and widely visited museums. With a licensed guide, explore the permanent exhibition “Kraków under Nazi Occupation 1939–1945”, presented through the story of Oskar Schindler. This is where Schindler employed Jewish workers and used his influence, resources, and personal risk to protect them from deportation. More than a thousand men and women survived because of his actions. As you move through the exhibition, your guide brings forward the voices of those he saved—often known as Schindlerjuden—whose testimonies continue to resonate across generations. Photographs, personal belongings, and reconstructed streets reveal the fear, uncertainty, and daily struggle of life under occupation. Against this bleak backdrop, Schindler’s actions stand out as a powerful example of compassion, defiance, and hope.
-
Ghetto Wall FragmentThe walking portion of the tour continues among the remaining fragments of the Kraków Ghetto. You’ll stop at Józefińska 41, once home to an orphanage, welfare offices, and a hospital—essential institutions that supported life within the sealed district. The preserved wall sections serve as stark reminders of separation, confinement, and loss.
-
At this symbolic square—marked today by the Memorial of Chairs—you’ll learn how the space became a site of round-ups and deportations to concentration camps, and how it is remembered today.
-
Eagle Pharmacy - Museum of KrakowAcross the square stands the Under the Eagle Pharmacy, where pharmacist Tadeusz Pankiewicz and his staff risked their lives to help ghetto residents. From this small space came medicine, shelter, forged documents, and moments of hope in an otherwise desperate reality.
