Schindler's Factory, also known as Oskar Schindler's Enamelware Factory, was a metal item factory owned by Oskar Schindler, a German industrialist, and member of the Nazi Party during World War II. The factory is located in Kraków, Poland.
During the Holocaust, Schindler used his factory as a way to save over a thousand Jews from the concentration camps by employing them as workers. He spent his fortune and risked his life to protect his Jewish workers from persecution and death.
The storey of Schindler's Factory and his efforts to save Jews was immortalised in the 1993 film “Schindler's List,” directed by Steven Spielberg. Today, Schindler's Factory serves as a museum dedicated to the history of Kraków under Nazi occupation, as well as the storey of Oskar Schindler and the Jewish workers he saved. It is a poignant reminder of the atrocities of the Holocaust and the heroism of those who resisted it.
