The factory in Krakow, once owned by Oskar Schindler, who saved 1,200 Jews during World War II, is now a branch of the Krakow city historical museum.
The museum presents all aspects of the history of Krakow under the Nazi occupation. Its various sections are devoted to the outbreak of World War II, Krakow as the seat of the General Government established by the Nazis, Nazi terror, daily life of city residents, the Jewish Ghetto, anti-Nazi resistance and the life of Oskar Schindler. It is one of Poland’s most modern museums of its kind, it has 30 inter-active multi-media stands, 15 video projectors, over 100 loudspeakers and 40 cameras.
German industrialist Oskar Schindler saved some 1,200 of his Jewish workers from transport to death camps by putting their names on a list claiming they were performing labor essential for the Nazi war effort in his enamel factory.
Towards the end of the war he spent his entire fortune on feeding Jewish employees and bribing Nazi SS troopers not to kill them.
His story was told in Stephen Spielberg's 1993 Oscar-winning movie "Schindler's List."
Most of Poland's 3.5 million Jews died in the Holocaust under German occupation.
