Your guide will explain the organization and operation of the camp, the conditions experienced by prisoners and the history of the executions and mass graves at the site.
The tour also covers Oskar Schindler and his connection to Plaszow. You will learn about his enamelware factory, the Jewish prisoners who worked there and the transfer of prisoners to his factory in Brunnlitz.
