Krakow Guided Tour of The Former Plaszow Concentration Camp (opens in a new tab)

1 2 h

Plaszow, situated in the southern outskirts of Krakow, stands as a stark reminder of the atrocities committed during the Nazi regime. Established shortly after the German invasion of Poland, Plaszow was initially conceived as a forced labor camp in 1940. However, by 1941, it underwent expansion and transformation into a concentration camp. Functioning as a concentration camp, Plaszow supplied labor to various military factories and a quarry. The harrowing existence within its confines is vividly depicted in the acclaimed film "Schindler's List" (1993). Today, the terrain that once bore witness to unspeakable suffering comprises sparsely wooded hills and fields, marked by solemn memorials erected to honor the victims. While the Plaszow area has been designated a nature preserve, filmmaker Steven Spielberg recreated a camp replica in the nearby Liban Quarry, a poignant testament to the horrors endured.
