Begin in Kazimierz, one of Kraków’s most evocative districts. Walk along Szeroka Street, the historic heart of the area, surrounded by synagogues and townhouses dating from the 16th–18th centuries.
You will see the Old Synagogue (now a museum), the Remuh Synagogue and Cemetery, the Kupa Synagogue, and the Tempel Synagogue. The walk concludes at Plac Nowy, a lively square that reflects the district’s present-day character.
Your guide will explain the traditions, daily life, and historical significance of Kraków’s Jewish community.

Through archival photographs, personal belongings, and reconstructed interiors, the museum presents life under occupation. Within this broader historical context, you will learn how Oskar Schindler protected more than a thousand Jewish workers, placing his actions against the backdrop of persecution and deportations.
The exhibition combines historical documentation with immersive design, creating a powerful and thought-provoking experience.
