Overview

Explore Kraków’s World War II history with an expert guide at Schindler’s Factory and the former Jewish Ghetto, discovering powerful exhibitions, authentic artifacts, and moving stories of survival.

Highlights:
• Learn about daily life in Nazi-occupied Kraków beyond Schindler’s personal story
• See original artifacts and carefully reconstructed interiors from the 1940s
• Understand how both Jewish and non-Jewish residents endured the war years
• View preserved sections of the former ghetto walls that defined confinement
• Stop at the Under the Eagle Pharmacy, known for acts of resistance and aid (no entry)

This experience pays tribute to Oskar Schindler and the lives he helped save. You’ll learn how his everyday decisions—and extraordinary acts of courage—became a matter of survival for more than a thousand people. His story unfolds within the wider history of a city under occupation, where humanity and moral strength could still emerge amid terror and oppression.

    Oskar Schindler's Enamel Factory

    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 Fragment

    The 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.

    Eagle Pharmacy - Museum of Krakow
