Your Experience
This guided tour offers an insightful look into Polish history by visiting key locations from the Second World War era that are depicted in Stephen Spielberg's acclaimed film, 'Schindler’s List.' Set against the backdrop of Krakow, you'll explore two significant sites and gain a deeper understanding of this tumultuous period.
During your visit to Schindler's Factory, delve into the remarkable story of Oskar Schindler, the German businessman who played a crucial role in saving numerous Jewish lives. Today, the factory is home to MOCAK, Krakow’s museum of contemporary art, and the Schindler's Factory Museum which chronicles life under Nazi occupation.
Next, you'll explore Plaszow, originally established as a forced labor camp but transformed into a concentration camp in 1941. Located on sparsely wooded hills just south of Krakow’s city center, it once held Jews from the local ghetto who were compelled to work at military factories and Liban Quarry. Now preserved as part of a nature reserve, this site features a significant memorial honoring all victims. Given its current status, Spielberg recreated the camp for his film in nearby Liban Quarry. Our tour includes visits to these poignant sites.
