Plaszow, situated in the southern outskirts of Krakow, stands as a stark reminder of the atrocities committed during the Nazi regime. Established shortly after the German invasion of Poland, Plaszow was initially conceived as a forced labor camp in 1940. However, by 1941, it underwent expansion and transformation into a concentration camp. Functioning as a concentration camp, Plaszow supplied labor to various military factories and a quarry. The harrowing existence within its confines is vividly depicted in the acclaimed film "Schindler's List" (1993). Today, the terrain that once bore witness to unspeakable suffering comprises sparsely wooded hills and fields, marked by solemn memorials erected to honor the victims. While the Plaszow area has been designated a nature preserve, filmmaker Steven Spielberg recreated a camp replica in the nearby Liban Quarry, a poignant testament to the horrors endured.

During World War II, the Podgórze district housed a Jewish ghetto, and even today, 75 years after the war's end, traces of those events remain. These reminders serve as poignant symbols, urging current inhabitants to remember the horrors of war and strive to prevent such atrocities in the future. You'll visit the renowned Ghetto Heroes' Square, where Jews were selected for transport to concentration camps, and witness a section of the original ghetto wall, now a solemn monument and pilgrimage site for many Jews. The district still bears witness to the lives of thousands of displaced Jews in its houses, including the historic pharmacy "Under the Eagle." Exploring these streets offers a captivating journey through their rich and profound history.
