Oskar Schindler's Enamel Factory Tickets

Oskar Schindler's Enamel Factory is an important industrial facility in Krakow that once produced goods. Today, the factory is home to two important museums in Krakow: Krakow Museum of Contemporary Art and Krakow History Museum. Listed on Schindler's List as "Oskar Schindler's Deutsche Emailwarenfabrik" (DEF), the plant has undergone many transformations throughout its history. Initially, the factory, founded in March 1937, was the first manufacturer of enamelware and metal products to operate in Malopolska.

Under Schindler's leadership, the factory's history becomes even more evident as it takes an important place in human history. During World War II, Oskar Schindler resisted the Nazi genocide of Jews and saved many Jewish lives. By protecting the Jewish workers in his factory, he kept them away from the concentration camps and ensured their survival. With our Oskar Schindler's Enamel Factory tour, you can have a pleasant time in this historical place and witness history closely.

With its historical significance, Oskar Schindler's Enamel Factory went beyond an ordinary industrial complex and became an icon that left a deep mark on human history in Krakow, Poland during World War II. The factory is known as the site of the activities of Oskar Schindler, the German businessman who saved the lives of thousands of Jews during the darkest days of the Holocaust in the region occupied by Nazi Germany.

Schindler's sacrifices and sense of humanity made him not only a businessman but also one of the most impressive heroes in human history.
