Why Go

Schindler, a German businessman, saved about 1,200 Jews by employing them in his factory here, the story of the film Schindler's List. The museum in the old offices tells the story of the whole city from 1939 to 1945, with recreated streets, sounds and the testimony of those who lived through it.
