Overview

“Memory is the only victory time has allowed us.”
Why is this story worth discovering?
• KL Płaszów: We’ll walk through the former concentration camp grounds, where only symbolic traces remain today – a monument, road fragments, and ruins. I will talk about the prisoners’ daily lives, the role of commandant Amon Göth, and the paradox of Schindler’s factory becoming a place of survival.
• In Schindler’s Footsteps: We’ll visit locations from Spielberg’s film, but most importantly, places of real events, from the Grey House (SS offices and Göth’s bureau) to the quarry (Schindler’s List film set).
• People, not numbers: You’ll hear stories of real individuals, victims (like Roma Ligocka) and those who risked their lives to help (like Mietek Pemper, co-author of the list).

Selected sites we’ll visit:
– Grey House
– Commandant’s Office
– SS Barracks
– Funeral Hall
– Jewish Cemeteries
– Jewish Prisoners’ Barracks
– Execution Site
– Industrial Area
– Quarry
– Commandant’s Villa
