The route continues to Józefa Street 12, where powerful scenes of resettlement and hiding during the ghetto liquidation were filmed in original courtyards and passages. On Ciemna Street, hear the storey behind the filmed escape of Poldek Pfefferberg—a moment of fear, survival, and quick thinking. At the junction of Dajwór and Na Przejściu Streets, see the location of the symbolic ghetto gate built for the film, representing the forced passage from freedom into confinement. Walking through preserved streets, learn how Kazimierz was emptied of its Jewish population during the occupation—and how decades later it became a stand-in for the destroyed ghetto. The tour concludes in Kazimierz, once the vibrant heart of Jewish life in Kraków, ending on Szeroka Street. Surrounded by historic synagogues, your guide introduces the district’s prewar community and explains why Spielberg chose Kazimierz to recreate scenes from the wartime ghetto.
