Description

Explore the historic Podgórze district, which served as the site of a Jewish Ghetto during World War II and still preserves this poignant legacy 75 years after the war's end. This area stands as a solemn reminder of the atrocities of war and the imperative to prevent their recurrence. Witness the renowned Plac Bohaterów Getta (Ghetto Heroes' Square), where Jewish residents of Krakow were identified and deported to concentration camps. Encounter a fragment of the original ghetto wall, now a revered monument and pilgrimage site for many Jewish visitors from around the world. Traverse the buildings where thousands of displaced Jews endured cramped living conditions. Conclude your tour at the historic 'Under the Eagle' pharmacy, a poignant symbol of resilience and survival amidst the turmoil of war.
