What To Expect
Fabryka Emalia Oskara Schindlera
Visit Schindler’s Enamel Factory, today one of Kraków’s most visited and moving museums, and step into the story of a man whose actions made history. With a licensed expert guide, you’ll explore the acclaimed exhibition “Kraków under Nazi Occupation 1939–1945” through the lens of Oskar Schindler’s extraordinary life. This is the place where Schindler employed Jewish workers and used his position, influence, and resources to protect them from deportation. More than a thousand men and women survived thanks to his courage and determination. As you walk through the exibition, your guide will bring to life the stories of those he saved, often called “Schindlerjuden,” whose testimony continues to resonate across generations. Photographs, personal objects, and reconstructed streets show the fear, uncertainty, and daily struggles faced by the city’s inhabitants. Within this backdrop of oppression, Schindler’s story emerges as one of humanity and hope.

Disappointed - Not really about Schindler

2.00I expected to learn more about Schindler on this tour: how he made the decisions he made and how he executed his plans. This was more of an introductory tour about German occupation of Poland. There were a couple of mentions of Schindler, but nothing in depth. The tour goes through several staged rooms with photographs from the war. There is no factory to view.
We had a lovely lady...

5.00Last minute booking to schindlers factory after getting recommended from a couple we meet in Poland. The guide was very knowledgable and enthusiastic throughout. I would defo recommend a guide if you are going to this museum. We had lots of opportunities to take pics and ask questions throughout.
Great tour but not the information I expected

5.00Site and guide were both excellent. It was based more on the history of the war than on Schindler. I expected to see the factory, machines, more about the workers. Tour is about 2 hours and worth doing. But not what I expected, especially when you've seen the film and read up about it.
