Overview

Embark on a guided tour to explore the historic sites of the Jewish ghetto and one of the Nazi concentration camps established during World War II. Begin your journey near Schindler's Factory in Krakow's Podgórze district. Though the local streets and alleys have changed over time, they still conceal remnants of the harrowing years when the Nazis confined thousands of people within the ghetto, only to later transport them to concentration camps. Visit the remaining fragments of the ghetto wall, the famous square with its poignant chair monument, and the building of the Pharmacy Under the Eagle, a beacon of hope during those dark times.

Next, take a tram to Płaszów, the site of a former Nazi concentration camp located in the Krakow suburbs, built on the grounds of old Jewish cemeteries. Płaszów served as a labor camp for several military factories and a quarry, as well as a site for the extermination of Jews deported from the ghetto.

What To Expect

The Ghetto Heroes Square

Visit the symbolic square - the place where the Krakow ghetto existed during World War II, where its Jewish inhabitants were crowded. A visit there will be a contribution to listening to the guide's stories about those times, living conditions and the fate of the inhabitants. The monument in the square, consisting of 70 large, well-spaced metal chairs, which were to symbolize departure, as well as later absence, is an eloquent symbol commemorating the victims of the Krakow ghetto.

Ghetto Wall Fragment

Kraków’s most prominent evidence of its ghetto is this 12-metre stretch of the original ghetto wall. In 1983, a commemorative plaque was raised, which reads in Hebrew and Polish: “Here they lived, suffered and died at the hands of the German torturers. From here they began their final journey to the death camps.”

Eagle Pharmacy - Museum of Krakow

In the years 1941-1943 within the ghetto in Kraków it was the only pharmacy run by a Pole who had the right to stay in the part of the city designated by the Germans only for Jews. The owner of the pharmacy managed to help many Jews by giving them medicine, shelter, passing on information, helping in contacts with family.

Plaszow Concentration Camp

While thousands of tourists use Krakow as the starting point for visiting Auschwitz, few are aware that Krakow actually has a former concentration camp in its own backyard. On the other side of the river, in the depths of Podgórze, the vast area is almost undeveloped, despite the fact that it is located in one of the most desirable commercial and residential districts of the city - on the main communication artery (Wielicka Street), opposite a large shopping center (Bonarka) and not far from main tourist attraction (Krakus Mound). It is the former seat of the `` Konzentrationslager Plaszow bei Krakau '' - the German Nazi concentration camp in Płaszów, today a wild, uneven space of land, which until recently did not indicate its own existence, let alone its wartime history.
