Jews have an important place in the history of Krakow. 68,000 Jews lived in Krakow until 1939. The Nazis used the former Krakow Ghetto as a transit point before sending people to the Auschwitz concentration camp. I invite you to learn more about this sad but very important page in the history of Krakow.
We’ll explore the city in an electric car. Why an electric car? The advantage is that electric cars are allowed absolutely everywhere, unlike cars and buses. The electric car is equipped with a licensed audio guide, so you’ll learn all about the period of occupation and life in Krakow during World War II.
During the tour, we’ll visit all of the most important places connected with Krakow Ghetto: the bridge over the Vistula river, Ghetto Heroes Square, the Eagle Pharmacy, part of the original wall that surrounded the ghetto, Oskar Schindler’s Factory and, as a bonus, St. Benedict's Church, whose silhouette is often compared with that of the castle at Disneyland!
