Krakow is a majestic city, with the one of the largest main squares in Europe and incredibly preserved remnants of a medieval city.

I’m a fan of small, concentrated museums, and thought that the Apteka Pod Orlem museum did a wonderful job of explaining the grim rise and fall of the Jewish ghetto in Podgorze, a neighborhood of Krakow over the Vistula River. The archival English video presentations are jarring. And the stories of the pharmacist owner and his shopkeepers who aided the Jewish inhabitants are moving.
Across the main avenue and under a small pedestrian bridge is Oskar Schindler’s former factory. At the moment, there’s not much to see except for the Factory Sign bearing his name, as the building is being renovated into a museum.
