In house number 18 there was the only pharmacy in the ghetto, run by Tadeusz Pankiewicz, the only Pole in the ghetto. He risked his life to help its inhabitants. He also witnessed the drama that unfolded during the liquidation of the Jewish quarter on 13 and 14 March 1943.

  The original Enamel Factory, also known as Oskar Schindler's Deutsche Emailwarenfabrik (DEF), was established in 1937, when it was founded. Later, on 1 September 1939, Nazi Germany invaded Poland. Oskar Schindler, a Sudeten German, member of the NSDAP and Abwehr agent, is believed to have arrived in Krakow on 6 September as German troops entered the city... Here is end of our tour.
