Auschwitz-Birkenau Memprial and Museum Around 60 km to the west of Krakow is the small town of Oswiecim, where in 1940 a set of German concentration camps was established. Auschwitz-Birkenau was the largest German concentration camp, where more than 1.5 million prisoners were tortured and murdered during the Second World War. Auschwitz-Birkenau is preserved intact as a reminder of the crime committed against humanity here. The museum includes the ruins of crematoria, gas chambers, the railway platform and other objects of the former concentration camp.

Schindler's Factory Museum
Be sure to visit the exhibition "Krakow - Occupation 1939-1945", located in the former administrative building of Schindler's Enamel Factory. The exhibition is a story about Krakow and the fate of its Polish and Jewish inhabitants during World War II, about the Germans - occupiers and the factory owner - Oskar Schindler, whose fate was recalled in the 1993 film by Steven Spielberg.

Wander through occupied Krakow with our professional guide who will help you delve into the meaning of the exhibition. Walking along the cobbled streets you will enter a hairdresser, photographer, an authentic photoplasticon, get on a tram, through the windows of which you will see a film about the life of the city, go through the narrow labyrinth of the ghetto with a Jewish apartment in it, and then with its inhabitants to the camp in Płaszów .
Touch the history, feel the emotions of the inhabitants of the city of the war period thanks to modern multimedia.
Leave the walls of the Museum and move to the authentic streets of Krakowskie Podgórze, which are full of memories of those tragic times when there was a Jewish ghetto established here by the Nazis.
