Description:
The Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp Memorial is a solemn place commemorating more than a million victims of the Nazis who perished during the blood-filled days of World War II. Start your visit in the early morning to avoid the crowds and tour the UNESCO-listed site with an expert guide.
The largest death camp in history, Auschwitz-Birkenau is synonymous with the Holocaust and genocide. Learn about the atrocities of the Nazi's so-called “Final Solution” on a sobering and informative guided tour of the complex, which was designed and used as a labor camp and extermination facility. On the drive from Krakow, watch an insightful documentary onboard your comfortable mini-coach.
“Arbeit Macht Frei”—“Work Makes Free”. So says the slogan on the heavy gates of this tragic site. Millions of visitors come here each year to remember and to pay their respects. Your small group is among the first to enter the premises in the morning. Learn about the tragic history of this place and the fate of the camp's inmates from a knowledgeable and sensitive guide.
The original watchtowers, fences, roads, and railway ramps remain intact, and since 1979 the camp has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk through Auschwitz I and II, which together consist of approximately 150 buildings and 300 ruins including gas chambers, prison blocks, and crematoriums. Visit the Martyrdom Museum before returning to Krakow with a deeper awareness of the tragedies of the 20th century.
