Things to do Kraków Plaszów Camp and the True Story of Schindler

“Memory is the only victory time has allowed us.” Why is this story worth discovering? • KL Płaszów: We’ll walk through the former concentration camp grounds, where only symbolic traces remain today – a monument, road fragments, and ruins. I will talk about the prisoners’ daily lives, the role of commandant Amon Göth, and the paradox of Schindler’s factory becoming a place of survival. • In Schindler’s Footsteps: We’ll visit locations from Spielberg’s film, but most importantly, places of real events, from the Grey House (SS offices and Göth’s bureau) to the quarry (Schindler’s List film set). • People, not numbers: You’ll hear stories of real individuals, victims (like Roma Ligocka) and those who risked their lives to help (like Mietek Pemper, co-author of the list). Selected sites we’ll visit: – Grey House – Commandant’s Office – SS Barracks – Funeral Hall – Jewish Cemeteries – Jewish Prisoners’ Barracks – Execution Site – Industrial Area – Quarry – Commandant’s Villa Why trust me? – I specialize in historical and military tourism (author of guides) – Licensed tour leader for many years – Then&Now “This place calls for silence, and one question: what would I have done?”
