As other reviewers have said, there isn’t very much information about Oskar Schindler himself, it’s more about the Nazi occupation of Poland which is highly interesting of course but would have liked more information about Schindler.
We were supposed to have a tour guide but because we’re still learning how to navigate around a new city, we couldn’t find the correct tram and ended up walking 40 minutes to the museum in the pouring rain. I didn’t mind the walk as such but it made us 15 minutes late meaning the tour set off without us which was fine, I understand why. We were, however, met with a bit of a grumpy woman who snapped at me for being late while handing over my prebooked tickets. In the end, I was relieved we did miss it because I think we learnt a lot more walking around ourselves reading the information boards so I’d recommend not bothering with the tour personally.
The guided tours also seemed to get in the way throughout the museum, we got stuck behind the one we should have been a part of a couple of times! The museum isn’t really designed for huge groups of people standing still in one area.
