Oskar Schindler Factory Museum Guided Tour

Overview

The Schindler Factory in Kraków is one of the most important memorial sites related to the history of World War II. It is worth visiting because it offers a deeply moving insight into the lives of Kraków’s residents under German occupation and tells the story of Oskar Schindler, who saved over a thousand Jews from extermination. The permanent exhibition “Kraków under Nazi Occupation 1939–1945” presents everyday life in the city, the terror of the occupiers, and the heroic actions of those who helped others. The exhibition combines authentic artifacts, documents, photographs, and multimedia reconstructions, creating a vivid and realistic portrayal of that time. The museum can be visited individually or with a guide, who helps visitors better understand the historical context and significance of the site.
