Overview
Hidden just a short distance from Krakow’s vibrant center lies a quiet, haunting landscape that holds one of the city’s most tragic chapters, the site of the former Nazi German concentration camp KL Plaszow.
During WWII, this area became a place of terror where thousands of Jews and Poles were imprisoned, forced into labor, and murdered. Although lesser known than Auschwitz, KL Plaszów is deeply connected to the Holocaust narrative and features in Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List, through the voices of survivors, their memories, stories, and testimony. We bring you closer to life in the camp: daily struggles, small acts of resistance, and the terrifying presence of SS guards and commanders, including the infamous Amon Göth. You'll learn what prisoners remembered most, about hunger, fear, moments of hope, and the people who held power over life and death.
While the buildings of the camp no longer exist, the stories remain. This tour brings them to life through powerful storytelling, survivor accounts, and historical facts, helping you imagine what once stood there.
