Meet your private guide at the entrance of Apteka pod Orłem, located on Ghetto Heroes Square — once the administrative centre of the Kraków Ghetto. During a short walk toward Plaszow, your guide introduces the history of the Nazi occupation and the origins of the camp.

Stop 2

At the Plaszow site, walk through the remains of the former labour and concentration camp. Visit the main memorials, the Monument of Torn-Out Hearts, and places once marked by tragedy — the roll-call square, mass graves, and ruins of the Grey House. Your guide shares personal stories of those imprisoned and explains how Oskar Schindler’s rescue efforts were closely tied to this camp. The tour ends near the site’s major memorials — a quiet space to pause, reflect, and honour the victims.
