Plashow is a Nazi concentration camp in the southern suburbs of Krakow, founded by the Nazis shortly after the German invasion of Poland. Originally, Plashow, opened in 1940, was planned as a forced labor camp, but in 1941 the camp was expanded and subsequently converted into a concentration camp, where from October 28, 1942, deportation of Jews from the Krakow ghetto began.
Plashow was known as a concentration camp, supplying several military factories and a quarry with labor.
The camp and life in it are shown in the Schindler's List movie (1993) about the life of Oskar Schindler. The area which held the camp now consists of sparsely wooded hills and fields, with one large memorial to all the victims, erected in 1964 and few smaller. As the Plaszow area is now a nature preserve, so the director Steven Spielberg built a camp replica in the Liban Quarry, some hundred meters away. We will visit all this points during our tour.

We had Barbara as our tour guide, and she was just amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly. She guided us from the Heroes Plaza to the Płaszów labor camp. The entire time, she was giving us information, showing us pictures, and answering any questions we had. It is definitely a very educational tour
