View of the entrance to Oskar Schindler's enamelware factory in German-occupied Kraków. As part of the German authorities' expropriation of property, Schindler took over the factory, which became known as "Emalia." At Emalia, Schindler employed Jewish forced laborers from the the Kraków ghetto and the Plaszow forced labor camp. Eventually, a Plaszow subcamp was established on the factory complex grounds. At Emalia, Schindler treated his Jewish forced laborers well. Poland, 1943–1944.
