About This Tour in Krakow

During World War II, the Poguzhe district was the site of a Jewish ghetto, but even now, 75 years after the end of the war, the district keeps a part of those events. Much of it reminds its current inhabitants of the horrors of war and of the need to prevent such things from happening. You'll see the famous Plac Bohaterów Getta (Ghetto Heroes' Square), where Jews were selected and taken to concentration camps, also you'll see a fragment of the original Ghetto wall , which now serves as a monument and place of pilgrimage for many Jews. There are houses where thousands of displaced Jews used to live, and the pharmacy "Under the Eagle".It's always very interesting to walk these streets and learn their history from a to z

Kraków’s most prominent evidence of its ghetto is this 12-metre stretch of the original ghetto wall. In 1983, a commemorative plaque was raised, which reads in Hebrew and Polish: “Here they lived, suffered and died at the hands of the German torturers. From here they began their final journey to the death camps.”

The Ghetto Heroes Square is a square in the Podgórze district of Krakow

The Ghetto Heroes Square is a square in the Podgórze district of Krakow. In the years 1941–1943 it was within the ghetto. It was a place of concentration of the Jewish population before transport to concentration camps. Currently, there is an unusual monument in this place - several dozen cast-iron chairs standing individually in the square. They symbolize property and belongings of Krakow Jews scattered on the streets after the liquidation of the ghetto.
