Former Ghetto Krakow The tour begins in the area of Schindler’s Factory, introducing the historical context of the Nazi occupation and the transformation of this part of Kraków during World War II. With your guide, you will learn how industry, forced labor, and everyday life became closely intertwined in this district. From there, the walk continues toward the remains of the former Ghetto Walls. These surviving fragments stand as a stark reminder of the boundaries that once confined the Jewish population and separated them from the rest of the city, offering a tangible insight into the reality of life under occupation. The route then leads to Ghetto Heroes Square, the former center of the Kraków Ghetto and a key site connected with deportations. Today, the square functions as a place of remembrance, marked by the powerful memorial of empty metal chairs symbolizing the lives lost. Across the square, you will see the historic Under the Eagle Pharmacy.
