The name of Oskar Schindler, who saved the lives of about 1100 Jewish workers from extermination, was made famous in Steven Spielberg's film Schindler's List. Today, the restored Emalia factory hosts an exhibition documenting the history of Cracow during World War II.
The Emalia factory was established in 1937 and was taken over by Oskar Schindler in 1939. The entrepreneur employed Jewish workers there, whom he saved from extermination by putting them on the so-called Schindler's List. The factory is located at 4 Lipowa Street and is now part of the Cracow Museum's Memory Route. It includes:
Pomorska Street (former Gestapo building),
Schindler's Factory (history of the occupied Cracow),
The Eagle Pharmacy (history of the ghetto and the pharmacy that operated there),
Plaszow Concentration Camp Memorial Site (open-air exhibition).
