Discover Oskar Schindler’s Factory in Kraków with ZeeTour
Oskar Schindler’s Factory, located on Lipowa Street in Kraków’s Zabłocie district, is one of the city’s most powerful and meaningful museums. Once an enamelware factory owned by German industrialist Oskar Schindler, it became a refuge for more than a thousand Jewish workers during World War II. Today, it houses the exhibition Kraków under Nazi Occupation 1939–1945, which tells the story of the city and its residents during this dark period.
Stepping inside, visitors find immersive rooms filled with photographs, documents, and multimedia displays that recreate life in wartime Kraków. Beyond the well-known story of Schindler’s bravery, the museum explores how ordinary people endured occupation, persecution, and moral choices. The factory’s preserved offices and personal testimonies bring history vividly to life.
