Overview
During World War II, the Poguzhe district was the site of a Jewish ghetto, but even now, 75 years after the end of the war, the district keeps a part of those events. Much of it reminds its current inhabitants of the horrors of war and of the need to prevent such things from happening. You'll see the famous Plac Bohaterów Getta (Ghetto Heroes' Square), where Jews were selected and taken to concentration camps, also you'll see a fragment of the original Ghetto wall , which now serves as a monument and place of pilgrimage for many Jews. There are houses where thousands of displaced Jews used to live, and the pharmacy "Under the Eagle".It's always very interesting to walk these streets and learn their history from a to z

We took a tour of the Kraków ghetto with our guide Anna, and it was an excellent experience. She was very knowledgeable, sharing detailed historical information in a clear and engaging way. Her calm tone and approachable manner made the tour both informative and pleasant. Highly recommended.

Fabryka Emalia Oskara Schindlera
The museum presents the daily life and tragic events that took place in Krakow during World War II. The home of the museum is the site of the Schindler’s Factory shown in the Oscar-winning film "Schindler's List" by Stephen Spielberg. The unusual and modern exhibition of the museum will not leave anyone indifferent.
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.”
Plac Bohaterow Getta
The Ghetto Heroes Square is a square in the Podgórze district of Krakow. In the years 1941–1943 it was within the ghetto. It was a place of concentration of the Jewish population before transport to concentration camps. Currently, there is an unusual monument in this place - several dozen cast-iron chairs standing individually in the square. They symbolize property and belongings of Krakow Jews scattered on the streets after the liquidation of the ghetto.
