Ghetto Heroes Square

Ghetto Heroes Square, located in Krakow’s Podgórze district, is a poignant memorial to the Jewish residents of the Krakow Ghetto during World War II. The square served as the ghetto’s main gathering point, where residents faced forced deportations and other tragic events. Today, the space is marked by 70 oversized metal chairs, symbolizing absence, loss, and the daily struggles of those who lived here. The nearby Pharmacy Under the Eagle, now a museum, offers further insight into the harrowing experiences of ghetto residents. Ghetto Heroes Square stands as a solemn reminder of the resilience and suffering of Krakow’s Jewish community.

Alles über Ghetto Heroes Square

Was Sie erwartet

Ghetto Heroes Square is open year-round, and there is no fee to visit. The site is located in the Podgórze district, close to other Holocaust-related landmarks like the remains of the ghetto wall and Oskar Schindler’s Factory. The square is surrounded by cafes and benches, allowing visitors to reflect in a peaceful setting. Plaques and signs provide context for the site, and guided tours are available for those seeking a deeper understanding.

Warum diese Tour buchen

Ghetto Heroes Square is a memorial site, so visitors are encouraged to maintain a respectful demeanor. Photography is allowed, but consider the somber nature of the location. Combining your visit with nearby landmarks like the Pharmacy Under the Eagle Museum or Schindler’s Factory will enrich your understanding of Krakow’s wartime history.

Die richtige Tour auswählen

From Krakow’s Main Market Square, take tram lines 3, 9, or 24 to the “Plac Bohaterów Getta” stop, which is directly adjacent to the square. Alternatively, it’s a 20-30 minute walk from the Old Town or a short taxi ride. Bike rentals are also a convenient option for those exploring the city on two wheels.

Wissenswertes vor der Abreise

Ghetto Heroes Square can be visited at any time of day. Mornings and weekdays are typically quieter, allowing for a more contemplative experience. The square is particularly moving at sunset or in the evening when the chairs are softly illuminated, creating a reflective atmosphere. Avoid peak hours if you want to explore in solitude.
