The Oskar Schindler Factory tour offers a unique journey back in time, taking visitors to the heart of Krakow to explore its history during World War II. The museum is located in the former industrial halls of Oskar Schindler, a German entrepreneur who saved the lives of hundreds of Jewish workers by employing them in his factory.

Throughout the tour, a guide will take you through diverse exhibits that depict the everyday life of Krakow’s inhabitants under German occupation, as well as the hardships faced by Jews, Poles, and other groups persecuted by the Nazi regime. Visitors will see reconstructions of pre-war interiors, documents, photographs, and everyday items that shed light on the brutal reality of the occupation.

An important aspect of the tour is the history of the city itself, which became a major center of wartime activity, with numerous camps, ghettos, and forced labor sites operating within its boundaries. A visit to the museum offers insights into the complex history of Krakow, its residents, and the difficult choices they were forced to make during the war.

The tour also allows visitors to learn about the people who fought for survival, including those whose lives were saved by Oskar Schindler. Although his story is not the main focus of the exhibits, the museum honors his heroic actions and the profound impact they had on many lives.

This emotional experience not only helps visitors understand Krakow’s history during the war but also highlights the importance of courage and solidarity in preserving human dignity. The Oskar Schindler Factory tour is an unforgettable history lesson that stays with visitors long after they leave.
