Schindler in Krakow

If the 1st picture looks familiar, it probably means you saw Schindler's List because Steven Spielberg shot scenes for the movie in this location. Most of the movie was made in Krakow as this is where Oskar Schindler came to make his fortune during world war 2. And it is here where he protected his Jewish labor force from the Holocaust.
His former factory still more or less exists, but it is now used for museums. The 2nd picture is of the entry to the factory as it was portrayed in the movie. The 3rd picture looks out a window over the roofs of some of his buildings. The 4th picture looks along one wall of his buildings as it is today. The 5th picture is of part of the wall of pictures of the people who worked in his factory and who he protected. And the 6th picture is his desk and office.
The museum traces the life of Jewish Krakow from just before the war through deportations, creating the ghetto and liquidation of the ghetto, while pointing out the impact Oskar Schindler had on saving his employees through it all.Read more
