Abstract: Courtyard in Kazimierz used for movie location in Schindler's List, October 1998. "...shows the balconies in the courtyard from where the suitcases were thrown down in the scene in Spielberg's movie in which the Podgorze Ghetto is liquidated. According to my tour guide, a courtyard such as this is typical of the way living space was traditionally arranged in the old Jewish quarters of Polish cities."
Description: "In 1993, when Stephen Spielberg made a movie out of a novel called Schindler's List, written by Australian author Thomas Keneally, he needed an authentic Jewish quarter for the scenes depicting the Jewish ghetto of Podgorze in Krakow. He chose the Kazimierz district of Krakow because this area had not changed since the 1940s, while Podgorze had been partially rebuilt with modern buildings...In October 1998, I took a guided tour of Kazimierz and shot some photographs of the places where Schindler's List was filmed."
