During the Second World War its owner was the businessman Oscar Schindler. Today, one of Krakow\u2019s most interesting museums is found on the grounds of the old factory and it has quickly become one of Krakow\u2019s top attractions. The mutlimedia exposition is extremely well done and brings the history of Krakow during this difficult period to life. Join us on a trip to Oscar Schindler\u2019s Factory! \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Museum of Krakow During the TIme of Occupation 1939-1945 was opened in 2010. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Documents, photographs and first-hand accounts of survivors are used to powerfully present the Nazi occupation of Krakow during the Second World War.

An extremely interesting piece of history owned by the museum is a Kaiserpanorama from the turn of the century &#8211; a precursor to film that provided individual viewing of stereoscopic images and created the impression of a moving space. It was used in Krakow from 1920 to 1970.

Sensations from the first of September, 1939 are amplified by the sounds of bombing, radio announcements, and the comments of residents. The next tunnel leads to small TKS tankettes, which were had been produced since 1934 and modeled on the British original. They were to supposed to aid in small offensives, reconnaissance and later fighting against German tanks. The German invasion of Krakow on September 6, 1939 marked the beginning of more than five years of occupation of the city. The exhibition shows the successive stages of the \u00a0transformation of Krakow, which had become the capital of the Nazi-created General Government. Its gradual Germanization can be seen through changes in street names, institutions and squares along with the appearance of the swastika flag. From November of 1939 Wawel Castle became the personal residence of Hans Frank, Nazi Governor General of Poland.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"timeline_event rda_bounceInLeft\"><div class=\"event_img\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/krakowzwiedzanie.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/sonderaction-250x250.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" alt=\"Sonderaktion Krakau\" title=\"\" \/><\/div><div class=\"event_triangle\"><\/div><div class=\"event_info\"><h2>Sonderaktion Krakau <\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A reconstructed classroom from the local university introduces visitors into a space depicting the events of November 6, 1939 when the Nazi\u2019s carried out Sonderaktion Krakau &#8211; the arrest of 183 people employed in academic and administrative positions at Krakow universities. By the end of November, 1939 they were sent to the labor camp at Sachsenhausen. In February of 1940, 101 prisoners over the age of 40 were released after international negotiations. More were released in 1940 and 1941. Due to their age, forced labor and difficult weather conditions, some of those arrested died in the camp and others after their release. Sonderaktion Krakau made a huge impact on the residents of Krakow as it showed for the first time the scale of the terror and the intentions of the Germans invaders against the intellectual community of the city.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"timeline_event rda_bounceInRight\"><div class=\"event_img\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/krakowzwiedzanie.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/terror-250x250.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" alt=\"Terror\" title=\"\" \/><\/div><div class=\"event_triangle\"><\/div><div class=\"event_info\"><h2>Terror<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The atmosphere of terror in Krakow during the Second World War intensified with raids on the streets, interrogations with the use of physical and psychological torture, and detention in prison.

Dark, narrow corridors surrounded by a wall in the shape of tombstones symbolizes the barrier created in the ghetto in March 1941. Photographs of streets, people, written memories &#8211; all this evokes the incomprehensible grief of this terrible era. A small, crowded apartment shows the reality of life during the war. Great overcrowding often meant such rooms were inhabited by a dozen people, often complete strangers. During the ghetto\u2019s liquidation after two years, some Jews fit for work were sent to the Plaszow labor camp. Their fate hardly improved since they were sentenced to hard physical work and exposed to the wrath of Camp Commandant Amon Goeth, who personally murdered more than 500 people and enjoyed shooting at his workers from the terrace of the house where he lived. In January 1944, the \u00a0Plaszow camp was turned into a concentration camp, where Poles, Hungarians, Slovaks and Roma were also imprisoned.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"timeline_event rda_bounceInRight\"><div class=\"event_img\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/krakowzwiedzanie.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/sala-wyborow-250x250.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" alt=\"The Red Army entered Krakow on January 18, 1945 and the German occupation of the city ended.

However, the museum could not possibly leave out mention of the savior of more than 1,000 lives. The exhibition presents photographs Schindler taken in the factory during the war, and others taken of his surviving workers after the war. One room in the museum is Schindler\u2019s actual study with a well-preserved map of Europe marks with the names of cities in German (Another office, at the top of a staircase, was used in the film \u201cSchindler\u2019s List\u201d was built after the war). The last space in the museum shows many of the faces of workers saved by Schindler. Their stories and postwar fates have been documented in several books available in the museum giftshop and they are proof that &#8220;he who saves one life, saves the whole world &#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><span class=\"timeline_event_date_ctn\"><div class=\"timeline_event_date\"><h2>END<\/h2><\/div><\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<!-- Timeline Event END-->\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full-width-section&#8221;
