What to expect

Discover the tragic part of European history and visit the former Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau.

After arriving, you will visit KL Auschwitz 1 and see the 22 brick barracks, where hundreds of thousands of victims of the Holocaust were held captive. You will see block number 11, the so-called prison within the prison, which contained special torture chambers including dark chambers or standing cells where various punishments were inflicted on prisoners. The first extermination attempts using Zyklon B took place in this block. The only crematorium and gas chamber that are still standing are located at the end of the camp.

Then you will travel in the minivan to KL Auschwitz 2 Birkenau, which is 25 times larger than Auschwitz 1, and the largest of the death camps. Within the 62 mostly wooden barracks first designed as stables are the ruins of 4 crematoriums and gas chambers, which were destroyed by the Nazis in an effort to hide the evidence of their crimes. Over 1 million people died here.

After the tour, you will be dropped off again at the hotel.
