Your Experience
Engaging History: Auschwitz & Birkenau Unveiled
Your day begins at 9 am with pickup from your chosen location in Krakow, in a comfortable, air-conditioned van or mini-bus with a small group of 15 people. A 1.5-hour scenic journey takes you to Auschwitz-Birkenau, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, meet your licensed, local guide, who’ll elucidate the haunting history of these former Nazi concentration camps.
Interactive Learning: A Personalized Tour of Remembrance
Your guide will take you through Auschwitz I, initially built as a detention center for Polish citizens in 1939. Traverse the iconic gate under the chilling ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’ (Work Makes You Free) sign. Take a short break to absorb the moving outdoor exhibits before heading to Birkenau (Auschwitz II), built explicitly for the extermination of Jews. Learn about the horrifying living conditions, cruel selections, and ghastly experiments conducted here. The tour concludes with the tale of liberation by the 60th Army of the First Ukrainian Front in 1945.
