Description

Visit the 'Emalia' Factory, located in Krakow's Zabłocie district, a must-see for anyone interested in the history of World War II. Explore the permanent exhibition 'Krakow under Nazi Occupation 1939-1945,' one of the most important exhibitions in Krakow, revealing both the individual and collective dimensions of the atrocities that war brought upon the citizens of Europe. Learn about wartime Krakow, its residents fed Nazi propaganda, Jews forced into ghettos, and victims of wartime terror. Discover the multifaceted nature of Krakow's extraordinary history and the figure of German entrepreneur Oskar Schindler, who saved approximately 1,200 Jews by employing them in his factories, including Emalia, located in Krakow. Experience the history of Jews in Nazi-occupied Krakow. Walk through a narrow corridor reminiscent of the ghetto walls, and explore rooms arranged to resemble specific places – a street, a hairdressing salon, a labor camp, a train station, and many others. Imagine what the ghetto residents struggled with and reflect on their fate. This is an incredibly engaging way of telling the story of the wartime era – it creates the impression that visitors are actively participating in a walk through history.
