Description

Oskar Schindler, a German industrialist, risked his life to save his Jewish employees from the concentration camps. Discover his remarkable life by visiting his factory in Krakow on a 1.5-hour guided tour.

Description

As depicted in the Oscar-winning film “Schindler’s List,” a dramatization of this true story, Oskar Schindler was an ambitious German tycoon who lived in Krakow, occupied Poland. After taking control of an enamelware factory, he decided to employ Jewish workers to save on labor costs. However, when he discovered the suffering of the Jews in the concentration camps at the hands of the Nazi Party during World War II, he decided to save his workers. By bribing Nazi officials, buying food and medicine in the black market, and going bankrupt in the process, Oskar Schindler saved hundreds of lives.

Schindler’s Factory houses a permanent exhibition about the Holocaust death camps and how the industrialist did his utmost to save as many Jewish workers as possible. The exhibition discusses the history of all the city's residents: Jews, non-Jewish Poles & Germans. It relates one of the darkest periods of history with photos, recordings, and documents which will take you back in time.

Embark on a guided tour that takes you through the compelling rooms of Oskar Schindler's factory, which have been transformed into an interactive museum showcasing Kraków's history during Nazi occupation. Step into Oskar's original office, where you can immerse yourself in the stories and testimonies of the survivors featured in Schindler's List. Explore the secretary room, a space filled with poignant accounts that provide a powerful glimpse into the past.

Excelente guía y excelente explicación. No olvida que el turista espera tener algún tipo de vinculación con la historia de la famosa fábrica y cumple esa expectativa. De paso, explica de forma resumida y muy bien relatada la historia que se refleja en el museo. Muy recomendado. Sin guía no se apreciaría tan bien. Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent guide and excellent explanation. He does not forget that the tourist expects to have some kind of connection with the history of the famous factory and he meets that expectation. In addition, he explains in a summarized and very well narrated way the history that is reflected in the museum. Highly recommended. Without a guide it would not be appreciated as well.

De la fábrica no es tanto, sino más bien de la historia de Polonia cuando la guerra. De todas formas nos gustó mucho, está todo muy cuidado y bien ambientado. La guía en Español explica muy bien. Translate this opinion into English.

It's not so much about the factory, but rather about the history of Poland during the war. In any case, we really liked it, everything is very well cared for and well decorated. The guide in Spanish explains things very well. Opinion translated. Show original.
