Leave Krakow for a confrontational day of reflection with a visit to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps. The ceremonial place leaves an indelible impression on all visitors and is also an important monument to the victims of the Holocaust.

Funded by the Nazi party in 1940, Auschwitz-Birkenau became both a symbol of human suffering and a witness to physical and emotional exhaustion. As the largest concentration camp served by the Nazis, it became the final resting place of millions of people, mainly Jews, who were killed in hideous gas chambers.
