Our 3-hour tour with a licensed guide of Schindler's Factory and the former Jewish ghetto site provides a splendid occasion to discover the Kraków 2WW history.
The tour starts with a visit to Schindler's Factory, the most visited museum in Kraków. While visiting the permanent exhibition we shall become comprehensively acquainted with the history of the war-time German occupation of Kraków. The exhibition brings us up to date with the fate of Poles, Germans, and Jews in occupied Kraków – from the outbreak of war to the questionable "liberation" of the city by the Red Army in January 1945.
Equipped with the knowledge acquired at the museum, we will set out for the former Ghetto. The locations and historical events discussed in the museum will be shown by our guide in the authentic surroundings in which they took place.
