KL Plaszow – Karcer obozowy, Former prison block at Nazi concentration camp in Kraków, Poland.
Located at Jerozolimska Street 3, this former prison block from the KL Plaszow concentration camp contained cells and interrogation rooms where prisoners faced punishment. The structure still stands as a physical reminder of the camp's operations during World War II.
The structure was originally built before 1939 as the headquarters of the Jewish Burial Society. In 1942, Nazi forces transformed it into a prison block within the concentration camp system.
The building now serves as a place where visitors can confront the reality of imprisonment during the war years. People come to remember those who suffered and to keep their stories alive.
The site is open to visitors as a memorial with guided tours and information panels available in multiple languages. Plan time for a thoughtful visit, as the location can be emotionally difficult to experience.
The building was later filmed for the movie Schindler's List, making it an authentic location from that era. It remains one of the few original structures from the camp that still stands intact.
