About
Rychlá fakta: Stepping through the soot-darkened entrance, you'll encounter immersive exhibits that weave personal testimony, wartime documents, and atmospheric reconstructions into a vivid, human-scale narrative. A single gallery shows how one industrial site and its paperwork helped save roughly 1,200 Jewish workers, with original employment lists, letters, and everyday objects that turn statistics into startlingly personal stories.
Hlavní zajímavosti: Sneak up to the preserved factory floor and you can almost hear the clank of enamel presses, smell oil and metal, and spot original blue-and-white enamel plates stacked in piles exactly where workers once packed them. A small exhibit holds reproduced pages of the lists that saved roughly 1,200 people, along with notes about Itzhak Stern and Mietek Pemper, which makes the whole place feel like walking through a few tightly kept human stories rather than just empty machinery.
Insider tips

- Wear comfortable shoes, museum route has several rooms and staircases and standing is required to read exhibits.
- Head to the top-floor windows for a framed view of the former Jewish quarter; photograph the exterior courtyard but observe the solemn tone of the site.
