Former Jewish Ghetto – Podgórze -
The tour begins near the area of Schindler’s Factory, providing historical background on the Nazi occupation and the transformation of this part of Kraków during World War II. Your guide explains how industry, forced labor, and everyday life became closely connected in this district.
From here, the walk continues to the remaining sections of the former Ghetto Wall. These preserved fragments serve as stark reminders of the boundaries that once confined the Jewish population and separated them from the rest of the city, offering tangible insight into life under occupation.
Next, you arrive at Ghetto Heroes Square, once the central gathering point of the Kraków Ghetto and a site directly linked to deportations. Today, the square is a place of remembrance, defined by the Memorial of Chairs—an evocative symbol of absence and loss.
Across the square stands the Under the Eagle Pharmacy.
