It was very good that I took that guided tour. Probably, without the guide's explanations, we would have missed some interesting moments in the museum, without understanding their meaning. We were hoping to find out more details about Oskar Schindler and how he managed to save the Jews

The tour was very interesting, but there were too many of us in the group, which made it difficult to appreciate what the guide was saying. At times, the tour was too fast-paced and at others, too many anecdotes and too slow. Many people who weren't part of the group joined in, often making it difficult to see what the guide was saying. All in all, very interesting, but a little more rigor would have been nice!

Your experience

Visiting the horrors of the Holocaust

When Steven Spielberg made “Schindler’s List” in 1993, he put a spotlight on the life and achievements of Oskar Schindler, the German entrepreneur whose selfless acts of sacrifice and humanity saved hundreds of the city’s inhabitants from the gas chambers. Today, you can visit the now world-famous factory where the wartime events of the film took place and learn more about the Holocaust and the many hundreds of people Schindler saved.

Knowing the Nazis

The factory was opened to visitors in 2010, after being turned into a museum that showcases life under Nazi occupation in Krakow. For instance, you can see the “Kraków under Nazi Occupation 1939–1945” exhibit, which constitutes a chronological eyewitness report from the Second World War, or experience war-torn Krakow from the window of a tram, or wander through the dense labyrinth of a reconstructed Jewish ghetto. The exhibits have been meticulously crafted to recreate the city space from that era, employing photographs, films, and items from Nazi-occupied Krakow.

While you take in the many exhibits, your guide will tell you more about the lives of the inhabitants of this city, the Holocaust, and Oskar Schindler’s heroic contribution to humanity, with the help of facts and anecdotes. Visiting the painstakingly reconstructed factory is a truly eye-opening experience, leaving you with the vivid and haunting memory of the many heroes, survivors, and victims of the Nazi occupation of Krakow.
