Fabryka Emalia Oskara Schindlera
About
The former Oskar Schindler enamel factory in Kraków now serves as a powerful museum telling the story of the city during the Nazi occupation from 1939 to 1945. Housed in the original administrative building at 4 Lipowa Street, the exhibition combines authentic wartime artifacts, documents, and cinematic set pieces from the film Schindler’s List. Visitors walk through a chronological journey that covers the arrival of German troops, the establishment of a sub‑camp, and the efforts that saved over a thousand Jewish lives. The museum’s permanent exhibit—‘Kraków – The Period of Occupation 1939–1945’—features interactive displays, photographs, and replica film set rooms, allowing guests to experience history in an immersive way. Public access is by appointment, with pre‑booking required every day.
