Seven Poles during the German occupation

The Schindler Factory is a popular place to visit during trips to Krakow. They have a very interesting permanent exhibition, but they also have temporary exhibitions on display.

oscar schindler exhibitionIn the period between September 13th (2018) and July 7th (2019), you can check out their newest temporary exhibition which shows the lives of seven Poles during the German occupation. Have you ever wondered what life was like during the Nazi reign in Krakow and in Poland?

The seven people on display all took part in the Polish Home Army, the dominant resistance movement in Poland. The Home Army swore their allegiance to the Polish government in exile.

As you visit the exhibition, you will get a much closer experience and look at what life really was like during this period. Some of the topics covered are family upbringing and childhood, experiences from the beginning of the war, everyday occupation, emerging friendships, ideological approach to the fight for independence, service in the Home Army, horror resulting from the Gestapo arrest and the bestial interrogation, shorter/longer stays in the concentration camps, fighting in partisan units against the rulers, and unfortunately, the deaths of colleagues, friends and loved ones.

The exhibition will be held in the Oscar Schindler factory. The address of the factory is Lipowa 4 (ul), 30-702 Kraków.

Some Auschwitz pictures

There are tragic events and moments in history that you do not really want to speak about. One example of such an event is Holocaust. But, despite the fact that it was such a tragedy, it is needed to speak about it to make sure that it will never happen again.

That is why we recommend all visitors to Krakow to visit Auschwitz, the concentration camp, to see what happened there and to feel the disgust that people often experience as they walk through the different camps and houses. Here you can see some pictures from the concentration camps, and if you want to join in on a tour to Auschwitz while in Krakow, you can read more about the trips and Auschwitz here.
