An Emotional Journey Through the Exhibition Your expert guide provides context and shares compelling personal stories, bringing the museum's complex, multi-layered history to life—insights you would surely miss viewing the exhibition on your own. The chronological tour will lead you through 45 meticulously arranged rooms, recreating the world of occupied Kraków: Before the War: Begin with a look at the vibrant Jewish life and the flourishing culture of Kraków in the 1930s before the darkness descended. The Blitzkrieg: Experience the speed and brutality of the German invasion, walking through tense, atmospheric reconstructions of wartime streets and military checkpoints. Life in the Ghetto: Navigate the narrow, claustrophobic passages and witness recreated apartments where dozens of Jewish families were forcibly crammed, highlighting the daily struggles and desperation. The Power of Resistance: Learn about the secret operations, the hidden weaponry, and the brave network of the Polish Underground State that fought back against the terror. Schindler's Office: The tour culminates in the preserved administrative building, where you will stand in Oskar Schindler’s own office. Here, you will hear the full, complex narrative of the German industrialist who transformed from a war profiteer to a hero, risking his life and fortune to save over a thousand Jewish lives. Reflect on his legacy next to the iconic 'Survivor's Ark' installation. This tour provides a crucial, moving, and informative look at history, placing Schindler's courageous acts within the wider context of a city battling for its soul.
