From the ghetto to the camp site
The meeting point is next to the Apteka Pod Orłem museum in Heroes' Square, at the scheduled time. The guide explains the Ghetto Memorial and the pharmacy, then the group goes to Lwowska Street, where remains of the wall that separated the ghetto from the rest of the city still stand. A tram ride of a couple of stops leads to Płaszów.
What you see at the camp
The route runs along Jerozolimska Street, where the camp's railway facility, storage units, officers' club, administrative buildings and barracks once stood. You see the remains of the Jewish pre-burial hall, a reminder that the camp was built over old burial grounds, as well as the Grey House, the villa of commandant Amon Göth, the old Jewish cemetery, the roll-call square and the industrial zone.
Two of the most significant places are H-Hill, where mass executions took place, and C-Pit, which now has the Torn Hearts monument to the victims. Today the site is a green space.
Transport and practical details
The tour includes an English-speaking guide and free admission to the camp. Tram and bus tickets are not included: each costs 4 PLN per person and is paid separately. The tour ends in the Kamieńskiego area, before the return to the centre by bus.
The former camp is a place of remembrance and a war cemetery. The KL Plaszow Museum asks visitors to keep silence.
