Plac Bohaterów Getta, Holocaust memorial site in Podgórze district, Kraków, Poland
Plac Bohaterów Getta is a memorial square in the Podgórze district featuring 70 cast-iron chairs scattered across its surface. These chairs symbolize the furniture left behind when Jewish residents were deported in 1943.
The square served as a central gathering point for Jewish residents from 1941 to 1943 before their deportation. During this period, it became a focal point of the tragic events that reshaped life in this district.
The square serves as a place where visitors can encounter the stories of those who lived through the ghetto period. The Eagle Pharmacy Museum displays personal items and documents that help people understand daily life during this era.
The square is freely accessible year-round and serves as a good starting point for exploring the neighborhood. Guided tours connect this location with other meaningful sites of Jewish history in Podgórze.
A pharmacy from the ghetto period still stands on this square, where its owner provided help to many people. The place preserves the memory of personal acts of humanity during tragic times.
