Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is quite a walk from the old city but our plan was to walk straight here and then meander back through the Casimir Jewish district and look at the sights there. Without Google maps we wouldn't have found this place as there were no obvious signs until we were there.
There are only about 20m of wall left and just to rub it in, the Germans built each section in the shape of a Jewish gravestone. It's the little touches that matter! It does demonstrate how a city with a richly embedded population can have that all destroyed so quickly. With our current obsession with labels and identity this problem has obviously not gone away.

We took an electric scooter around the city and visited the heroes square and the wall remnants. It’s so sad knowing the history behind these areas, and it’s well worth paying your respects if you’re in Krakow. Both the square and the wall are very close to Schindler’s factory and can be done in the same day.

Visited here on a tour and also on foot. Its quite a small fragment which was a wee bit tricky to find. Very little info in English and a map showing whole route of walls would give more of an idea of the scale. However our journey in Krakow learning more about the atrocities leaves a big mark seeing this wall , the height and depressive feeling , contributed to the experience. Humbling.

Such a large piece of poignant history. If you are visiting the ghetto then you must take the time to see this. To think it once surrounded the whole of the Jewish quarter is heartbreaking. Follow it up with a visit to Oscar Schindlers factory for more about the history

We stopped off as we walked back from visiting the Schindlers factory. It is difficult to find even with sat nav. and is located close to a busy main road. It is only a small part of the ghetto wall which has been preserved. It is hard to believe that this wall surrounded the whole ghetto , and that the Germans deliberately shaped the wall like Jewish gravestones so that the inhabitants had to look at them every day to remind them of their fate.

Only a small part of the wall remains but its an important piece of Krakow history. The plaque reads: “Here they lived, suffered and died at the hands of the German torturers. From here they began their final journey to the death camps.”

There’s not very much of the wall to see but we stood for a good twenty minutes staring and thinking. At face value, it’s a wall made with tombstone shaped blocks. It’s thinking about why they are tombstone shaped, who built the wall, the unimaginably and unnecessary cruelty that is the interesting part. How could humans do this to other humans?

This small remaining portion of the wall is a symbol of the humiliation the Polish Jewish population had to endure - ie replicas of Jewish tombstones as the fence which surrounded their ghetto. It’s a powerful example of what happened here.

Use Google maps to find the P of the ghetto wall Frite man . You can walk right by it but it's very interesting that this is all that's left of part of the ghetto . I think it all of this is very somber experience.

It's a small segment of the wall but tall. The plaque is in polish and Hebrew reads: “Here they lived, suffered and died at the hands of the German torturers. From here they began their final journey to the death camps.”
