Step by Step

The Oskar Schindler Factory is one of the most significant places in Krakow and a key point in understanding its recent history. With this 2-hour guided tour, you will enter the museum directly, without queuing, accompanied by an official guide who will help you to contextualise each space and each testimony.

The tour begins at the main entrance of the museum, where you will meet your guide before entering the rooms that tell the story of life in Krakow between 1939 and 1945. The tour is not just informative: it is an emotional experience that shows what it was like to live under Nazi occupation and what role Schindler played in saving over a thousand Jewish people.

During the tour, you will discover a unique combination of original spaces, reconstructions, historical materials and multimedia resources that bring history to life. Highlights include:

  • Interactive and multimedia exhibits, recreating life in Krakow during World War II.
  • 3D installations and immersive scenarios that help to visualise the context of the time.
  • Authentic artefacts and original documents showing how the factory operated and Schindler's work.
  • Personal testimonies and real-life accounts that humanise the events and connect with individual stories.
  • Areas dedicated to the figure of Oskar Schindler, from his life before the war to his transformation into a hero.

The guide will share little-known anecdotes, historical context and deeply moving stories that help to understand the ghetto experience, the resistance and the fear with which the local population lived. This combination makes the tour a direct encounter with history.

    The story is very sensitively told. For those looking for something more dynamic, it may be a little formal, but it delivers perfectly.
