Plac Bohaterów Getta, Holocaust memorial site in Podgórze district, Kraków, Poland

The square features 70 cast-iron chairs scattered across its surface, representing the furniture left behind during the Jewish deportations in 1943.

Between 1941 and 1943, this square served as the central gathering point for Jewish residents before their deportation to concentration camps.

The Eagle Pharmacy Museum at number 18 presents artifacts and photographs documenting daily life in the Kraków Ghetto during World War II.

Visitors can participate in guided walking tours that start from the square and continue through other Jewish heritage sites in Podgórze.

The square contains the only remaining pharmacy from the ghetto period, where Tadeusz Pankiewicz provided medicine and assistance to Jewish residents.
