This tour takes you through the tragic events that unfolded here, a place once home to thousands of displaced Jews during the Holocaust. Walk through the district and visit key historical sites, including remnants of the ghetto wall, locations tied to daily Jewish life, and important war-related landmarks. Start at Schindler’s Factory, now a museum showcasing the daily struggles and survival of Krakow’s Jewish population during the Nazi occupation. The exhibits offer a powerful account of the suffering, resilience, and resistance faced by Jews living here during WWII. From here, journey through the Ghetto’s remnants with stops at preserved sections of the ghetto wall along Lwowska and Limanowskiego Streets, where the harsh conditions are evident. The ghetto’s tragic history comes alive as you visit sites such as the former ghetto orphanage on Lwowska Street, where children struggled to survive, and the corner of Józefińska and Limanowskiego Streets, once home to the Jewish Order Police and the ghetto prison.
