About
Brze činjenice: A surprisingly personal archive hides in an industrial shell, with lists of more than 1,000 names and ordinary objects that tell the stories of people saved against impossible odds. Step into the recreated workshops and you can almost hear the clink of enamelware while authentic documents and audio testimonies make the bureaucratic and human ingenuity painfully immediate.
Istaknuto: Inside the former enamel plant the dim rooms are staged like a wartime workshop, complete with grainy 1940s photographs, clattering machine soundscapes, and the stark fact that roughly 1,200 people were saved because they were declared essential workers. A surprising detail is that Schindler spent his fortune on bribes and supplies, and surviving invoices and letters mention bottles of cognac, sewing machines, and cash payments used to persuade officials to spare specific employees.
Insider tips
- Book the first time slot of the day to avoid large guided groups and get photos without crowds.
- Head straight to Schindler’s original office and the wartime street reconstructions, they are most atmospheric and can fill quickly.
- Wear comfortable shoes and a light layer, galleries are dim and can be cool even in summer.
- Photography without flash is usually allowed in most rooms, avoid tripods and long setups during busy periods.
