The museum, situated at the site of Schindler's Factory depicted in the Oscar-winning film "Schindler's List" by Steven Spielberg, offers a poignant portrayal of Krakow's wartime history. Through its modern and immersive exhibits, visitors gain insight into the daily life and tragic events that unfolded during World War II.

Kraków's most prominent reminder of its ghetto is a 12-meter section of the original ghetto wall. Erected in 1983, a commemorative plaque in Hebrew and Polish bears the inscription: "Here they lived, suffered, and died at the hands of the German torturers. From here, they began their final journey to the death camps."

Ghetto Heroes Square, located in Krakow's Podgórze district, served as a gathering point for the Jewish population from 1941 to 1943 before their deportation to concentration camps. Today, the square is adorned with a poignant monument: several dozen cast-iron chairs scattered throughout. These chairs symbolize the possessions of Krakow's Jews left behind on the streets after the ghetto's liquidation.
