Podgórze

Across the Vistula River from Krakow’s Jewish Quarter, Kazimierz, lies Podgórze, a neighborhood with a poignant history. During World War II, Nazi Germans established a ghetto here, forcibly confining Jews before deporting them to concentration camps. Today, visitors often come to explore the somber remnants of this period, with a particular focus on Oskar Schindler’s Factory, made famous by the film Schindler’s List. The factory now serves as a museum, offering a detailed and moving account of the city’s wartime history.
