Entrance to Schindler's enamel factory at 4 Lipowa St.

There was no attractive perspective of this building, but I have a picture from the museum of the 1942-43 construction of the factory, which is exactly this view. There used to be a sign over the gate that read "Fabryka Oskara Schindlera - Emalia," which has unfortunately been removed (somewhat recently, I think). The factory itself is the sloped roof structure through the original gate, while the administrative offices surrounded it. Today the premises are a branch of the Muzeum Historyczne Miasta Krakowa displaying the permanent exhibition "Kraków under Nazi Occupation 1939-1945." It's unfortunate the cars were parked there.
