Depart Krakow for a poignant day of reflection with a visit to the former Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps. Journey back in time to the dark days of World War II and take part in a moving history lesson about the Nazi 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 operated by the Nazis, it became the final resting place for millions of people, mostly Jews, put to their death in the hideous gas chambers.
