Schindler’s Factory boasts a rich history and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Poland. Here are a few reasons why you should take a Schindler’s Factory tour.
There are two museums inside Schindler’s Factory that depict the different aspects of life in Krakow during the reign of the Nazis through a series of exhibits. There are 45 exhibition rooms inside the museum – each of which has been recreated to depict the city’s wartime history and the pain and suffering its citizens experienced using everyday objects like newspapers, artifacts, and personal documents.
Know MoreThere are two exhibitions – one permanent and the other temporary – currently running at the Schindler’s Factory. The permanent exhibition tells the story of Krakow and how the Nazi occupation disrupted the relations between its Polish and Jewish residents. Also, get a glimpse of Oskar Schindler’s office and the Survivor’s Ark made of thousands of enamel pots, walk along the cobbled streets, board a tram, or check out the hair salon.
The temporary exhibition is divided into six parts depicting stories of the outbreak of war, the fate of the soldiers, deportation of civilians, the terror of German occupation, the Katyn massacre, and forced labor from the perspective of the citizens of Krakow. The collection also includes testimonies of eye-witnesses and soldiers, photographs, letters, and records.
Know MoreSchindler’s Factory hosts several events throughout the year that take you back to the history of Krakow and its several historical locations. They also curate special tours of the exhibitions to help citizens get a better and deeper understanding of the war, its senselessness, and what life was like in Krakow during its course. There are also a few light-hearted events like the one focusing on the history of clothing and the changing fashion of Krakow in the 1930s.
Know MoreThe museum also organizes educational activities and tours for children of different age groups to help them develop a deeper understanding of the history of Krakow and its German occupation during the Second World War. These classes held both online and offline, include a tour of the exhibitions where children are shown photographs, artifacts, and documents that tell of the history of the city during the war and the impact of Oskar Schindler’s historic decision during the time.
