The permanent exhibition, "Krakow Under Nazi Occupation 1939-1945" is a world famous exhibition located in the former administrative building of Oskar Schindler’s factory. It was designed as a multimedia museum that provides context of the persecutions of Pols and Jews in occupied Krakow. There are many artefacts as well as replicas of the Jewish ghetto and Plaszow camp. In a unique and interactive way, the museum explains the history of WWII in Krakow and the Nazi plan of exterminating the Jews. It is a great introduction to what happened in Krakow during the war and is recommend to visit before going to Auschwitz. It is possible to visit the museum on your own, however, we recommend going with the guide to get the most out of the exhibition. You will listen and read many stories and having a guide will help answer all the questions you might have.
