Auschwitz concentration camp is located in the town of Auschwitz, southwest of Krakow. It was one of the labor and extermination camps established by Germany during World War II. Today, it has become a famous memorial site and museum. There are two camps in the area, the larger Auschwitz main camp and the smaller Auschwitz-Birkenau second camp, which are about 3 kilometers apart. There are free shuttle buses available every hour between the two camps.
Prazo camp
Plaszow concentration camp is relatively small, simple, and far less renowned than Auschwitz concentration camp. It was a Jewish ghetto during World War II located in Kazimierz, Krakow.
Since the fall of Poland in 1939, the Polish people who were unwilling to be enslaved formed various underground resistance organizations. This museum introduces the achievements and sacrifices of these resistance movements during World War II, and is the only museum in Poland dedicated to underground resistance.
Schindler factory
The Schindler Factory has now been transformed into a modern museum. It mainly displays photos and documents from the World War II, which allows people to have a comprehensive understanding of the war.
Kazimierz is a historic district in Krakow, known for its Jewish community since the 14th century. Some of the famous attractions in the area include the town hall on Market Square, the old Jewish synagogue which now serves as a Jewish museum, as well as several other Jewish and Christian churches, and the Municipal Engineering Museum.
