Oskar Schindler's Factory Guided Tour
As depicted in the Oscar winning film “Schindler’s List” a dramatisation of this true story, Oskar Schindler was an ambitious German tycoon who lived in Krakow, occupied Poland. After buying an enamelware factory in 1939, he decided to employ Jewish workers to save on labour 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, bribing Nazi officials, buying food and medicine in the black market, and going bankrupt in the process.
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 relates one of the darkest periods of history with photos, recordings and documents which will take you back in time.
On your guided tour, you’ll discover the various rooms of the factory, including the former workshops and studies, all reconstructed and transformed into an interesting interactive museum. Learn about the consequences of the Nazi occupation of Poland and the harsh living conditions of the Jews during the war, but also the small light in the darkness, showing how the actions of one man saved hundreds of Jews.
