Your will visit a former prison of the Nazi regime, located right in the heart of the old town. Explore its turbulent past while hearing the stories of 3 high ranking Nazis that were tried and executed in Krakow.

World War II represents one of the most tragic events in human history. A time that sparked the best in some and the worst in others. It was the moment in history when even the smallest decision could lead to dire consequences.

Enter the time of the 20s and 30s in Germany, to investigate the reasons that led to the war. Learn about the concept of 'Blitzkrieg' and the use of synthetic drugs in the German army. Hear about Hans Frank's role within the General Government and the paintings stolen by the Nazis. You will not see the city in the same way after these stories.
