Il programma nel dettaglio
Oskar Schindler is a German entrepreneur and breeder who saved 1200 Jews and Holocaust victims during World War II by transferring prisoners to his own factories in Poland and the Czech Republic. The main character of the book "Schindler's Ark" and the "Schindler's List" movie.During this tour you will receive the most complete information regarding the history of World War II in Krakow, the personality of Oskar Schindler and the filming of the famous blockbuster of Steven Spielbierg.
The first part of the tour begins in the Old City and passes through the former Jewish quarters of Kazimierz to the Podgorze district of Krakow, where the Jewish ghetto was once located.
Plaszow was known as a concentration camp, supplying several military factories and a quarry with labor. The camp and life in it are shown in the Schindler's List movie. The area which held the camp now consists of sparsely wooded hills and fields, with one large memorial to all the victims, erected in 1964 and few smaller.
As the Plaszow area is now a nature preserve, so the director Steven Spielberg built a camp replica in the Liban Quarry, some hundred meters away. We will visit all these points during our tour.
The tour will show you the main places related to the activities of Oscar Schindler in Krakow and a Nazi concentration camp.
