Overview

During World War II, the Podgórze district housed a Jewish ghetto, and even today, 75 years after the war's end, traces of those events remain. These reminders serve as poignant symbols, urging current inhabitants to remember the horrors of war and strive to prevent such atrocities in the future. You'll visit the renowned Ghetto Heroes' Square, where Jews were selected for transport to concentration camps, and witness a section of the original ghetto wall, now a solemn monument and pilgrimage site for many Jews. The district still bears witness to the lives of thousands of displaced Jews in its houses, including the historic pharmacy "Under the Eagle." Exploring these streets offers a captivating journey through their rich and profound history.

    Ghetto Wall Fragment

    Kraków's most prominent reminder of its ghetto is a 12-meter section of the original ghetto wall. Erected in 1983, a commemorative plaque in Hebrew and Polish bears the inscription: "Here they lived, suffered, and died at the hands of the German torturers. From here, they began their final journey to the death camps."

    Plac Bohaterow Getta

    Ghetto Heroes Square, located in Krakow's Podgórze district, served as a gathering point for the Jewish population from 1941 to 1943 before their deportation to concentration camps. Today, the square is adorned with a poignant monument: several dozen cast-iron chairs scattered throughout. These chairs symbolize the possessions of Krakow's Jews left behind on the streets after the ghetto's liquidation.
