The exhibition was a very interesting look back at the history of Krakow. The unimaginable suffering of the persecuted and murdered Jews was portrayed very well. I would only have liked more texts and captions in German. We would also have liked to have heard the reports of the contemporary witnesses in German. That should be possible in times of audio guides. Many thanks for the great exhibition

Efficient ticket that saved us 1h30 of waiting time! When we emerged from the tour we found the same people queuing outside the building. However, we were a little disappointed by the content of the tour, as we were expecting more relics of the past and a building "in its original state", whereas virtually everything had been redone.

All encompassing museum , very detailed and fascinating explanation of the occupation by the Germans . It's set in the factory but don't expect that much about Schindler ( who was German!) and not much remains of the " factory" so it's more about the Nazi terror . The guides are very good but you need 2.5 hours , it's a huge exhibition.
    • Skip the lines and learn about the history of the Holocaust and the story of Schindler's efforts to save over 1,100 Jewish lives.

    There was quite a long queue, and we were able to get in earlier for the reserved ticket without queues. Also, since it was nominal, there was almost no wait for the ticket to be given to you, despite the people who were there at the same time.
