In evidenza

Take part in a guided walk through the former Płaszów Camp, learning about its historical role and its connection to Oskar Schindler through thoughtful, expert-led commentary and respectful context. Explore Płaszów Camp with an expert guide and learn about its history through stories of loss, survival, and moral courage. This guided walk places the site in proper historical context, including its connection to Oskar Schindler and the lives he helped save. Highlights: • Take an in-depth guided walk through the former Płaszów Camp • Visit key memorial sites and honour the victims of the camp • Learn about Oskar Schindler and the fate of prisoners transferred to his factory Unlike many historical sites, Płaszów contains few preserved structures. Its wide, open spaces and silence define the experience, creating a setting for remembrance and reflection rather than exhibition. The absence of buildings underscores the scale of loss and invites a respectful engagement with history.

Itinerario

  1. The route passes through Ghetto Heroes Square in the Podgórze district, a place closely connected to the history of the Kraków Ghetto. Redesigned in 2005 as a memorial space, the square is marked by rows of empty metal chairs symbolizing forced displacement and absence—one of Kraków’s most powerful commemorative sites.

  2. Established in 1942 on the grounds of former Jewish cemeteries, Płaszów evolved from a forced-labor camp into a concentration camp. More than 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 locations such as the Grey House, the roll-call area, remnants of camp infrastructure, mass graves, and the Monument of Torn-Out Hearts. The story of Oskar Schindler forms an important part of the narrative, as many prisoners registered in Płaszów were later transferred to his factory—an act that saved more than a thousand lives. With few physical remains, the impact of Płaszów lies in its atmosphere. The quiet landscape encourages careful listening, remembrance, and thoughtful reflection on one of the darkest chapters in Kraków’s history.

About Cracovia

Cracovia, antica capitale reale della Polonia, ha un centro medievale splendidamente conservato, dominato dal castello di Wawel sulla Vistola.

La Piazza del Mercato Principale, una delle più grandi piazze medievali d'Europa, è fiancheggiata da case borghesi e ha al centro la Sala dei Tessuti con i suoi portici. La basilica di Santa Maria si innalza a un angolo, con il suo altare ligneo intagliato capolavoro gotico, e un richiamo di tromba risuona dalla sua torre giorno e notte.

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