Location: Brněnec 23, 569 04 Brněnec · Pardubice Region

Category: memorial, Holocaust museum

The Museum of Survivors is housed in the former spinning mill of the Löw-Beer textile factory in Brněnec, where a subcamp of the Gross-Rosen concentration camp operated during the Second World War and where Oskar Schindler saved approximately 1,200 Jewish prisoners from the so-called Schindler's List. The exhibition was opened in 2025 by Nadační fond Archa (Archa Endowment Fund), founded by Daniel Löw-Beer, grandson of the factory's original owner. Visitors see the preserved premises of the complex and the story of the factory before, during and after the war.
