Krakow: Jewish Quarter and Schindler Factory Museum with Private Live Guide
Begin by learning about Krakow's Jewish heritage on an informative guided walking tour of the Kazimierz district, then head to Oskar Schindler's Enamel Factory, a museum telling the story of the Nazi occupation.
See how diverse and colorful Krakow is on a private guided walking tour of the Kazimierz district. Find out who and when founded this place, which eventually became a stopover for a large number of Jewish settlers and was shaped by them for centuries, until World War II, which influenced the fate of the entire city and this place in particular.
There is so much to see in Kazimierz. See how history mixes with the present - next to iconic places such as the Old Synagogue, ritual baths and houses of former Jewish families, retro-style restaurants and cafes have been established. Pass the active Remuh Synagogue with its cemetery, learn about rituals and customs in everyday life (trade, cuisine) and after death, as well as about relations with Polish neighbors and why Judaism and Christianity were so intertwined in the Jewish district.
Together with your guide, find different signs and symbols hidden even in the architecture of the buildings to understand what the real Kazimierz is like.
Continue your journey into the world of Jewish heritage by visiting the permanent exhibition at the historic site. The Schindler Factory Museum tells the story of all the tragedy of World War II in an individual and collective dimension. It also presents the everyday life of occupied Krakow, recorded in ordinary objects, photographs, newspapers, personal and official documents.
Thanks to artifacts and multimedia, each visitor can travel back in time for a moment and directly touch history and feel the emotions of the inhabitants of the wartime city.
And although it is not a biographical museum dedicated to Schindler himself, the guide will certainly also mention the famous manufacturer, in the context of those times and the deed he accomplished.
