2-Hour Guided Tour in Kraków-Płaszów Concentration Camp

Points forts

Itinéraire

1. The route passes Ghetto Heroes Square in the Podgórze district, a place closely linked to the history of the Kraków Ghetto. Once neglected after the war, the square was redesigned in 2005 as a memorial space. Today, dozens of large metal chairs symbolize forced departures and absence, forming a powerful and widely recognized tribute to the ghetto’s victims.

2. Established in 1942 on the grounds of former Jewish cemeteries, Plaszow developed from a forced-labor camp into a concentration camp. Over 35,000 prisoners were held here, and thousands lost their lives. During the guided visit, you will trace the former layout of the camp through surviving sites such as the Grey House, the roll-call area, remnants of key buildings, mass graves, and the Monument of Torn-Out Hearts. The story of Oskar Schindler is an important part of the visit, as many prisoners registered in Plaszow were later transferred to his factory, saving more than a thousand lives. With few physical remains, Plaszow’s impact lies in its quiet atmosphere—encouraging careful learning, remembrance, and reflection.

About Cracovie

Cracovie, ancienne capitale royale de Pologne, a une vieille ville médiévale superbement préservée, couronnée par le Wawel au-dessus de la Vistule.

La place du Marché principal, l'une des plus grandes places médiévales d'Europe, est bordée de maisons bourgeoises et centrée sur les Halles aux draps à arcades. La basilique Sainte-Marie s'élève à un angle, son retable en bois sculpté étant un chef-d'œuvre gothique, et un appel de trompette retentit de sa tour jour et nuit.

Top-ranked sights in Cracovie: Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, Rynek Glowny (Main Market Square), Wieliczka Salt Mine (Kopalnia Soli).
