After touring the salt mines, we headed to Schindler's Factory (http://www.krakow-info.com/schindler.htm). This is the man the movie Schindler's List was based upon.
It took a while to find it. The GPS kept wanting to take us up the wrong way on a one-way street and we could not find any street signs pointing us in the right direction. We did finally find it but never did find an official parking lot so we just parked on the street. It was a very good museum that taught us all about the German occupation of Poland and how Oskar Schindler saved many Jews from being shipped off to a concentration camp. The museum did a good job of showing how ruthless and terrible these times were while at the same time not being too graphic so our kids could go through the entire museum.
