Krakow: Former Concentration Camp Plaszow Private Tour

This private tour offers a powerful and personal way to explore one of Krakow’s most moving historical sites. The Plaszow camp, once a place of forced labor and suffering, now stands as a vast, open landscape of memory — where silence speaks louder than monuments. With your expert private guide, you’ll walk the paths that once formed the heart of the camp, uncovering stories of loss, resilience, and courage.

Highlights:

• Experience a private guided tour through the Plaszow Concentration Camp

• Discover the story of Oskar Schindler and his connection to this site

• Visit key memorials and preserved fragments of the former camp

• Learn about life, resistance, and survival during the Nazi occupation

• Walk at your own pace — space for reflection, discussion, and questions

You’ll visit memorials marking the mass graves, the roll-call square, and the remains of the pre-burial hall. At the Monument of Torn-Out Hearts, pause for reflection as your guide shares the human stories behind the stones. Learn how Oskar Schindler’s efforts to protect his Jewish workers were intertwined with the history of Plaszow and how this place became a crucial part of his legacy.

This tour is not about sightseeing — it’s about remembrance. With a private guide, you’ll explore at your own pace and connect with history on a deeply human level. Every stop invites reflection and understanding of what once happened here — and why it must never be forgotten.
