3️⃣ Explore Old Krakow Ghetto area

During the walking tour, you will visit the actual Krakow ghetto area where many Jews were forced to live during the Nazi occupation of Poland. You will see remaining fragments of the Ghetto Wall.

4️⃣ Visit Ghetto Heroes Square

The Ghetto Heroes Monument in Krakow features 68 chairs, symbolizing the thousands of Jewish lives lost during the Holocaust. Nazi occupiers used this square as a gathering point before deporting victims to nearby concentration camps like Auschwitz and Plaszow. It stands as a solemn tribute to their memory and resilience.

The pharmacy of Tadeusz Pankiewicz was the only Polish-run place in Krakow's ghetto and during the occupation became an important center of social life as well as aid in acquiring food and medicine, falsified documents, and avoiding deportations.
